Document Summary

We need to take ownership of our lives. Women doubt a lot of their abilities too often. They underestimate the degree of strength and flexibility that their lives require. We have the potential to master the art of resilience. Researchers claim that we all share the ability to take charge of our lives and find the meaning and the richness and the purpose we seek. The question is whether or not we take the time to do it. Women"s inner resilience is the power to know what we need and the strength to act on that knowledge. If we permit our resilience to emerge, it can actually inform us and shape us and determine our responses that would let us be the persons we were meant to be and we want to be. It is the ability to recognize our personal power to see ourselves and our daily lives in new ways.
