CREATE YOUR HAPPINESS | TRENT SHELTON | MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING
About this video
Shelton teaches that emotional resilience comes from changing the meanings and perspectives we assign to life events. He argues that perspective can be either a prison or a source of power, and recounts how getting cut from NFL teams led him to start RehabTime. Shelton offers three strategies for building resilience: reframing hardship as strength, maintaining forward movement, and eliminating the option of giving up.
