Bouncing Back from Tough Times with Self-Encouragement, Part 3 by Jim Rohn
This is the last installment in a three-part series of articles.
Increasing Your Resiliency
Resilience is the ability to return to the original form after being bent, stretched or compressed. That’s the dictionary’s definition of resilience. It’s the ability to readily recover from illness, or depression, or adversity.
In our lives, resilience specifically means being able to withstand setbacks, broken hearts and broken dreams, financial crisis, loss of loved ones, loss of enterprise, and loss of health. How would you ever handle it if you lost everything you had today? What would your next step be? How long would you be depressed and upset and angry? What would it take for you to pull yourself up and start all over again? How resilient are you? Could you handle it? Could you learn from all of your disappointments and start all over again? What would it take?

Lunchtime Leadership
We had great discussion and dialogue among the group--the book "Leadership and Self Deception" has us looking into things that we find hard to swallow . . . good for growth as community leaders. Next meeting is set for Friday, December 11, 2009. Everyone is welcome!
A Veteran's Day Tribute
A local veteran who served three tours in service stated in the local newspaper today that "he went so that others wouldn't have to"; this is a true veteran. Please watch this slideshow . . .
