Step One

Today is day one, and our journey begins. You might feel a little lost at first—

Like standing in the middle of a desert, not knowing which way to go.

But don’t worry. Once you take the first step, you’ll slowly start to find your direction.

Here’s a story: A traveler got lost in the desert. At first, he was scared and thought nothing could be worse than being lost. But then he told himself, “Let me follow the sun to figure out east and west.” Gradually, he found his way and hope returned.

The lesson is: In life, if you have a goal or a guiding star, you’ll feel less lost. That guiding star is different for everyone — for some, it’s family; for others, their passion; and for others, their faith and beliefs.

Having direction and meaning in life is an essential part of resilience.

Practical exercise:

Take a moment now to think about what gives your life the most direction. Spend 5 minutes today writing it down or imagining it clearly. This will be your guiding star — whenever you feel lost, it will help you find your way.

In this lesson, we will explore the concept of Mental resilience and its importance when facing life’s challenges. Mental resilience is the ability to adapt and withstand mental pressures, setbacks, and difficulties. A highly resilient person does not let failures lead to complete despair; instead, they focus on solutions and new opportunities to continue moving forward positively.

Mental resilience means the capacity to successfully and persistently adapt when confronted with stressful and difficult situations. This ability enables us not only to avoid hopelessness in tough times but also to seek new ways to overcome challenges. According to psychological research, a resilient person maintains a positive mindset, feels a sense of control over their life, and learns from every failure to become stronger. In other words, Mental resilience is the mind’s flexibility in facing adversities. Studies show that people with supportive social relationships and hopeful attitudes generally have higher psychological resilience.
