What is the Road to Resilience? Where does it take us? The road to resilience is synonymous with the statement, “the journey is the destination”

Resilience is a process—i.e., a means to an end. However, resilience can also be considered an end result.

Key quotes to reflect upon:

The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.

Norman Cousins

You can\'t change the world alone - you will need some help - and to truly get from your starting point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the good will of strangers and a strong coxswain to guide them.

William H. McRaven

Sometimes it\'s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

Drake

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

Maya Angelou

The destination is a happy life, an accomplished life that doesn\'t end with death but with eternal life.

Angelo Scola

Life is a pilgrimage. The wise man does not rest by the roadside inns. He marches direct to the illimitable domain of eternal bliss, his ultimate destination.

Swami Sivananda

One\'s destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.

Henry Miller

Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination.

Mary Harris Jones

By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.

Christopher Columbus

I can\'t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

Jimmy Dean

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

Earl Nightingale

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

Greg Anderson

Success is not a destination, but the road that you\'re on. Being successful means that you\'re working hard and walking your walk every day. You can only live your dream by working hard towards it. That\'s living your dream.

Marlon Wayans

Each one of us has our own evolution of life, and each one of us goes through different tests which are unique and challenging. But certain things are common. And we do learn things from each other\'s experience. On a spiritual journey, we all have the same destination.

A. R. Rahman

The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.

Carl Rogers

He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.

Jose Rizal

Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.

Arthur Ashe

Character is a journey, not a destination.

William J. Clinton

Sometimes we make the process more complicated than we need to. We will never make a journey of a thousand miles by fretting about how long it will take or how hard it will be. We make the journey by taking each day step by step and then repeating it again and again until we reach our destination.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Look at what you want to change, gather a few people who believe in it like you do, and start moving forward. It\'s important to remember that you don\'t always need a destination. Sometimes, you just have to make forward motion. And you absolutely can.

Debby Ryan

One of the best paradoxes of leadership is a leader\'s need to be both stubborn and open-minded. A leader must insist on sticking to the vision and stay on course to the destination. But he must be open-minded during the process.

Simon Sinek

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don\'t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life\'s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Steve Jobs

The cross-cutting issues addressed in Resilient Practices are: Child Protection, Gender, Persons with Disabilities, Volunteerism and Christian Commitments.

The steady growth of disaster and violence risk, including the increase of people and assets exposure, combined with the learning from past disasters or exposure to violence, indicate the need to further strengthen preparedness for response at all levels. Disasters and violence have demonstrated that the recovery and reconstruction phase needs to be planned ahead of the disaster or acts of violence and is critical to building back better and making nations and communities more resilient—both to disasters and violence.

Agriculture and food security aims to promote more productive, sustainable and resilient agricultural systems that lead to improved food and livelihood security, including improved Child Well-being Outcomes, especially nutrition.

Investing in risk prevention and reduction through structural and non-structural measures is essential to enhance the economic, social, cultural resilience of persons, communities, countries and their assets as well as the environment (natural and built-in). Such measures are cost effective and instrumental to save lives, prevent, and reduce losses. A continued integrated focus on key development areas, such as health, education, agriculture, water, ecosystem management, housing, cultural heritage, public awareness, financial and risk transfer mechanisms, is required.
