Over the course of inventing the lightbulb, Thomas Edison failed over ten thousand times. Yet, instead of looking at this adversity as “failure,” he found a way to rise up and keep going. All of these “failures,” where steps along the path to him achieving his goal. It was the ways to build resilience that he mastered that allowed him to create one of the most important inventions in the 20th century.
Can you imagine what things would be like today if Edison had not risen up to the challenge and faced failure in the face? His story is a great lens for examing our own lives โ when face with adversity can we muster the resilience to see it as a grwoth opportunity? Or do we let adversity stop our aspirations?
In this episode of the Passion Struck podcast, John R. Miles reveals the most important ways we can develop resilience and learn to use pain for positive growth. Whether you struggle with resilience or not, this podcast will serve you.
You’ll learn the ways to build resilience and how we can build a stronger legacy on the foundation of struggle. Miles offers practical steps and encouraging insight backed by science on how you can overcome adversity.
