Building resilience by getting better at feeling bad

I recently attended the ACT Chapter meeting of Harvard alumni - a welcome space for thoughtful leadership conversations and reflection.

It reminded me of a powerful insight from Harvard psychologist, Dr. Susan David:

“You don’t build resilience by feeling good all the time. You build resilience by getting better at feeling bad.”

Right now, this quote speaks to me as I navigate the slower-than-hoped early stages of business growth, a reminder that challenge is where resilience (and creativity) are built.
