Personal Empowerment is Occurring When.....

Friday, November 12, 2010 by Stephen Elliott
Resiliency is about personal empowerment. It's about regaining our strength and courage in spite of having gone through a tough life experience. We can know we have claimed our personal empowerment post-trauma when, after the adjustment period, we realize the event hasn't altered the trajectory of our life.

It is all about claiming or re-claiming the future our life would have had if the event/trauma had never occurred. The tough experience is not allowed to throw us off course. There is no doubt the experience was a difficult one, but in the end, the event loses. We win back our life and the pre-trauma pathway we were on. The tough time is not allowed to have a lasting effect. 

In summary, resiliency is the internal process of limiting the power of the problem by putting a check on its ability to alter the path we were on prior to the disruption. Our personal empowerment refuses to grant the trauma any long-term damage. We stand up and take back our life right now.  Wow! That's awesome.
