Resilient personalities, strong personalities

“A farmer had a small farm where he carried out agricultural tasks and took care of some horses. One day, the foreman came to inform him that his best horse had fallen into a well. The man headed towards this place and tried, in different ways, to get him out of that place. Since he could not achieve his goal, he had no choice but to pour earth into the pit to bury the horse. When he was doing this work, the horse (demonstrating his will to continue living), did not allow himself to be buried. Instead, he took advantage of each shovelful of dirt to make the hole shallower so he could get out. Until he made it.”

Are you like the horse that uses the earth to climb and get out of the well or, on the contrary, do you allow yourself to be swallowed up by circumstances? If your initial response was “Yeah”, then it is because you have a strong or resilient personality.

Those individuals who Despite facing setbacks and suffering problems, they have the ability to maintain strength, get afloat (or out of the well) and resist, They are characterized by having a resistant personality. It is as if they are immune to the bad events in life, thanks to their strength.

The difference between a strong personality and others is that they can accept what happens in a different way. Take strength where others see weaknesses or weaknesses and move forward.

According to a psychologist at the University of Chicago, “strong” people (but not talking about muscles or physical build, but about mind) have several characteristics in common: They are committed, controlled and oriented towards what they want. In this way, they can not only enjoy life, but also succeed in what destiny has prepared for them.

And there is more, since People with strong personalities can overcome daily adversities and setbacks more quickly. such as the death of a loved one, a divorce, unemployment or lack of money.

As was said before, If you have a strong or resilient personality, like the horse in history, It is because your power of commitment is very great. You firmly believe that you can get ahead, that every inconvenience is a lesson to take into account for next time and that there is no silver lining.

This commitment can be put into practice in many aspects and is reflected not only in moments of difficulty, but in all areas of life. It will be easier to solve anything, be practical when making decisions when others need to think carefully, and even help others deal with what happens to them.

In second place, a “resistant” person He has deep-rooted self-control in his life. That is, she feels motivated by what she can do and give of herself.

And as a third characteristic, Strong people take on challenges, they are not afraid to disagree or to bet on something uncertain.

Changes are welcomed, investments (not just money) are a good way to modify a reality that you do not like and They understand that failures are, ultimately, a lesson.

Do you think you have a strong and resilient personality? In what everyday situations can you affirm this? If you haven’t yet harvested this type of personality, you just have to cultivate something different. Remember that We can all improve! You just have to propose it!
