Life can be unpredictable. There will be times when you face disappointment, failure, or overwhelming moments. It’s easy to believe you need to have everything figured out, but the truth is, no one does, especially not all at once. Resilience doesn’t mean pretending everything is okay. It means allowing yourself to feel, to struggle, and still choosing to rise again. 

“Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” – Nelson Mandela

As young people, we’ve seen that many still hide their talents and abilities out of fear. Too often, opportunities are missed not because they lack potential, but because they doubt themselves. Fear of failure and discouraging thoughts hold them back before they even try.

But resilience means learning to face those fears. It’s about taking chances despite uncertainty and believing that mistakes are not the end, but stepping stones toward growth. Every attempt, whether it succeeds or fails, is proof of courage — and courage is what builds resilience.
