It’s a time where, consciously and unconsciously, many of us reflect on the last year, taking stock, inventorying our gains and losses, lessons learned and mistakes made. 

It’s a time, too, where, for many of us, we dream and hope and set intentions for what the next year – 2023 – might hold. 

None of us have crystal balls. None of us know what 2023 will hold (remember New Year’s Eve 2019 into 2020?). So I no longer wish for myself or anyone else anything other than resilience to face what may come to pass. 

Internal fortitude to address, manage, overcome, and pivot no matter what life may bring. 

As a small gift to you, to strengthen your own resilience as we move forward into the next year, I want to leave you with this emotional nourishment: 99 of my all-time favorite quotes on resilience.

May even just one line speak to you and make you feel a tiny bit stronger and more capable after reading the post. 

I’m wishing you a wonderful 2023. And above all else, I’m wishing you resilience for whatever life brings despite our plans, intentions, and goal setting.
