The flexibility of the Will

  • Things change, and we have to adapt to them to proceed onward. It’s great to have a strong vision and determination, but you also need to listen to others and change your mind and opinion.

  • Don’t get attached to your initial thought. What you feel now isn’t how you are always going to feel. Remember that flexibility is strength.

  • So, be flexible and be accepting of others. Challenge your morals, practice thinking creatively, seek new experiences, build habits based on your values, and don’t always take the easy way. Being adapting is not weak and is not for the weak.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
