Resilience | noun
1. the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness
2. John "Shrek" McPhee (aka The Sheriff of Baghdad)
Okay, number 2 isn't actually included under the Oxford Dictionary of English's definition of 'resilience,' but it should be. Why? Because one doesn't get the moniker "Sheriff of Baghdad" without being resilient. So now that we know the formal meaning, what's John's definition of resilience? How does the person who actually epitomizes the word define it? How do we build resiliency in ourselves so that we can stand up to adversity instead of falling flat? To keep going when we suffer physical and/or mental hardships? Basically, how can we be more like Shrek? And just who does the SOB look to for inspiration? You might be surprised. Watch the video to uncover the answers to these questions and more.
