Waiting can feel like an endless stretch, an expanse of time that tests not just our patience, but our strength. When answers don’t come, it’s easy to feel like we’re stalled, suspended in a void. Yet, resilience is the quiet strength that carries us forward, even when the path is unclear, even when we don’t yet know what lies ahead.
Think back to a moment in this journey when you found yourself moving forward, even without knowing exactly where it would lead. Maybe it was the day after a difficult event when, instead of retreating, you decided to take the next step, making one more appointment or reaching out for a bit more support. Or perhaps it was simply getting up each day, preparing yourself for the possibility of another round of testing or treatment, knowing it was all part of a bigger picture. These are moments of resilience.
You’ve leaned on your inner strength countless times. Even if it feels unnoticed, it’s there—quiet, strong, and steady. Acknowledge these instances as reminders of the strength you already possess. This resilience is what sustains you through uncertainty. And though this season may stretch longer than you had hoped, remember that your quiet strength is carrying you forward, even when the way is unseen.
In the silence of waiting, let this be your reassurance: Resilience isn’t loud or showy. It’s a steady, gentle force, always there, always holding you up. Onwards and upwards.
