I have โResilienceโ fatigue, and have been trying to work out why.
Resilience as a topic is everywhere. TED talks, books, podcasts.
But by focusing on resilience, my concern is we anchor ourselves in a narrative of adversity.
This certainly isn't to diminish anyone's struggles or their journey to recovery, but resilience casts us defensively. Itโs about what we bounce back from.
What if instead, we celebrated tenacity?
Tenacity is about persistence. It's determination regardless of obstacles.
Tenacity puts us in the driver's seat. We're not just enduring; we're pursuing. Not just recovering; we're creating.
