Now that we know the significance of resilience, we need to know what keeps us from resilience. Our important contributions are always in the long-term, so if you don’t know what’s going to cause you to bail you’ll be blindsided by the difficulty.

Three common enemies of resilience our:
1. A lack of clarity on why: if you don’t know & feel purpose the obstacle will feel too much.
2. The excuses we make: When we blame we attribute things to forces outside our control which leads to a feeling of helplessness. It doesn’t matter who is to blame for what is wrong, the resilient leader takes responsibility for making it better.
3. Boredom: We get tired of showing up.
