Building Resilience — 6 Tips to Trade Helplessness for Healthy Control (Part 2) • Shaunti Feldhahn
Our human default is to feel stuck, hopeless, like a victim, self-pitying. We might get passive in response, we might get angry, we might vent. But the ‘stuck’ feeling is natural.

We are not helpless. We can train ourselves out of helplessness in the particular area where we are tempted to give up.| Shaunti Feldhahn
