This is Optimal Living Daily, episode 1626. So what is resilience and why is it so important to have in our daily lives?

By Allison Carmen of AllisonCarmen.com, and I'm Justin Mollick. Happy Sunday and welcome back to Optimal Living Daily or the OLD podcast, where I read to you from some of the best blogs I can find and get permission from, mostly covering personal development and minimalism on this show.

But for now, let's get right to it and start optimizing your life.

So what is resilience and why is it so important to have in our daily lives? By AllisonCarmen of AllisonCarmen.com.

For most of my life when someone told me I needed to be resilient, it made me think about a football player limping back onto the field after a big hit, or a marathon runner jogging that last mile in clear physical pain.
