109. Resilience and our purpose The Healthy Educator
-
- Education
We love the idea of resilience in today’s world and especially in education. If you or your students seem to be struggling with being resilient then our first place to start is your purpose. When we lose our sense of purpose we no longer have the desire to be resilient. Resilience naturally bleeds out of a strong purpose!
One of the great buzz words in our world, especially in education is resilience. We love this idea when it comes to our own kids, our students, or even ourselves.
One of the principle ideas that we need to understand is that we will fall short in our pursuit of resilience if we don’t have a strong connection to our deeper purpose.
We all need a reason to be resilient. It is so funny to listen to teachers complain about how students just aren’t tough and resilient these days. I wonder if we have given them a good enough reason to be resilient?
Only when we are connected to that deeper purpose and our “Why” can we muster the motivation and confidence to actually become resilient.
Think about all the great stories about those who have overcome adversity and they always have a deeper driving force in the background that is keeping them running.
Right now in our world we as educators, parents, students, have a strong need to be resilient, but have we defined a larger purpose that is worthy of that resilience?
If you haven’t then it is time to reconnect with your deeper purpose or your “Why” and come back into alignment with that purpose.
Our world’s current dynamic has gifted us the opportunity to redefine and reconnect with this deeper purpose but we’ve got to act in order to connect and actually practice being resilient.
Once this redefinition has taken place we are going to find ourselves in some downtimes as the world comes back to itself in the cleanup process we’ll be talking about over the next few shows.
When we are really pressed up against it our ability to get back up and actually practice resilience will present itself and our ability to bounce back will be directly related to whether we believe in our larger purpose or not.
Now is the time to show our true colors in regards to this principle so get out there and see what you are made of by bouncing education back to a whole new level!
Come work with me if you are struggling with any of this in your own life!
