Resilient Mindset: A Bridge to Wellbeing

Life in 2023 as we know it has thrown punches, kicks, and stones at us – wave after wave of hardship. Unimaginable things occurred especially since the pandemic hit and the civil wars erupted- many things we would never imagine to become normal are now considered “NORMAL”. The main question here is “How are we all taking it?”

SPOTLIGHT

Lydia Addis: Uncorking Excellence

Born and raised in the city of Addis Ababa, Lydia’s childhood was shaped by the wisdom and work ethic instilled in her by her beloved grandparents with whom she spent the better part of her childhood. Her mother’s desire for early marriage initially raised eyebrows and sparked hesitation with her grandparents. However, the remarkable strength and character exhibited by Lydia’s father soon dispelled any doubts. A self-made man, he emerged as a beacon of reliability for Lydia. He showcased the extraordinary power of hard work and resilience that she took after.

From an early age, Lydia discovered the joy of reading, a cherished pastime inherited from her grandfather. Her educational journey led her through various high schools before she embarked on higher education at Addis Ababa University, specializing in educational and planning management. After completing her undergraduate studies, Lydia found herself at DHL, where she started as a customer service agent. Little did she know that DHL would be the springboard for her professional growth. She gradually ascended the ranks to become an esteemed HR manager. Lidya kept honing her skills and leadership qualities during her impressive 14-year tenure.

FOCUS

Thriving Through Adversity

Adversity is a common thread with unexpected twists and challenges that creep into our lives uninvited. It’s the setbacks, the challenges, and the curveballs that life throws our way when we least expect it. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, adversity offers chances for growth and resilience. It challenges our character by pushing us to our limits and making us confront our fears. Adversity is not just an obstacle; it sparks change. When faced with adversity, we have two options: surrender to its weight or overcome it. It is in these moments of struggle that we discover our hidden strength. We tap into a wellspring of determination and perseverance that propels us forward, even when the odds seem impossible.

Adversity in its different forms, such as social unrest, environmental crises, professional setbacks, and personal hardships, teaches us valuable lessons about adaptability and resourcefulness. It compels us to think creatively, find innovative solutions, and venture into unknown territories, and it tests our emotional and psychological resilience in more ways than one. In its myriad forms, adversity is an inseparable part of the human experience.?
