“Things don’t always necessarily happen for the best, but we can always make the best of things that happen.”

There is mounting scientific evidence showing that focusing on cultivating strengths, optimism, gratitude, and a positive perspective can help us cope better and thrive during difficult times.

When things go wrong - loss of health, job, relationships, savings, or even when we lose hope in a brighter future - it can be another opportunity for learning effective strategies for coping. In short we can use the opportunity to build our resilience.

Difficult times can break us, but they can also make us. It all boils down to whether we choose to succumb to our circumstances – or face them, which is determined by how much resilience and courage we have. Resilience is the positive behaviour we show when facing adversity that allows us to bounce back, and courage is our ability to confront our fears or problems. Research in positive psychology and other related fields shows how we can navigate through difficult times, and emerge stronger.

Singapore has been my home for 20 years and I am convinced that despite the statistics Singaporeans are a positive and optimistic people – its just that sometimes they don’t show it, and forget what truly makes for happiness. Building on our pioneering conference of 2008 we now bring you an event that will provide you with the research, tools, and techniques that will help you build resilience and courage in your lives and help “make the best of things that happen.”

If difficult things have happened to you and you want to find the way forward – come join me at an event that could positively change your response to life’s difficulties forever.
