Are You Scrappy? Research Says Resilience Is A Leading Cause of Success
Published

Learn from Rejection and Failure:
Being rejected hurts. Failing feels horrible. And, it’s our nature to want to sweep these life instances under the rug and hope nobody is paying attention. But, rejection and failure are often the two best ways we can learn to improve. If you get rejected for job promotion, for example, seek answers to why someone else was chosen. The reasons are rarely personal. And, the answers will typically tell you exactly what effort, attributes, and skills are valued at your workplace. If you suffer a failure. Let’s say you try to launch a small business. Don’t just run away with embarrassment. Figure out exactly where you went wrong. That way, when you launch your next business, you’ll know precisely what to avoid.Seek Discomfort:
This isn’t new advice. However, it’s worthy of a constant reminder. As humans, we seek comfort and stability. And, we often resist change. However, in order to build resilience, it’s important to challenge ourselves and push ourselves out of our comfort zones. Again, this might feel redundant, but I’ve never interviewed anyone successful that told me, “The key to success was never taking a risk.” When you seek discomfort, especially in controlled environments, you’ll be much more resilient in unexpected situations.Speak Positively:
Okay, so this piece of advice might seem a bit fluffy at first glance. However, I challenge you to pay attention to the way you speak internally to yourself. All words have meanings, even when those words never leave our lips. Listen to both your internal dialogue and your external dialogue. Negative words have negative impact. And, positive words have positive impact. “I will be better because of this,” is one phrase to learn early in life. You may not believe yourself at the time. But, eventually, you’ll realize you were right. Somehow the adversity in your life, and your scrappy attitude to overcome it, taught you a lesson that benefitted you beyond belief.More From Bon Voyaged
