At 25, I had it all.

Until everything fell apart.

I was ill-prepared to revamp the life I had planned.

Nobody prepares you for the worst.

I had a degree in business and marketing, a great job with an international technology company, a loving and supportive family, and many friends. I planned to buy my first home and looked forward to what lay ahead.

But when the rug’s pulled out from under you, and you find yourself flat on your back, dazed and confused, wondering what hit you, how do you start again?

Because The Power of Change is based on building resilience, I’ve written often about the topic. I’ll bypass it today and discuss a few other aspects of an adversity toolkit: the less-known ones and those you may not have considered.

In case you missed the first post about my adversity toolkit, you can find it here. 

What’s an Adversity Toolkit?

It’s the tools that help you survive when life knocks you down. 

When happiness turns to sadness. 

Light becomes dark.
