When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back or
return to it's original position, the word resilience comes to mind. When used
in reference to a person this word means the ability to readily recover from
shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a
person's emotions.
Have you ever felt like you are about to snap? Have you ever
felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the
experience to live to talk about it.
During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that
threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and
you most likely endured unpleasant physical symptoms.
Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments
and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times
or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend but don't
break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A measure of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal.
With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad
as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to deal with if the end
result is worth having.
