Increasingly we are learning that the potential to become resilient is an innate quality of every child, indeed, every person. Therefore all sadhakas should nurture their capacity for resilience and it is probably the most important thing they can do to achieve success and satisfaction in sadhana.
As a sadhaka and a trainer for quite some long time, I understand that fostering resiliency is connected to:

v) Optimism and positive outlook about the future.
