Flexibility
Flexibility is dependent on trust. The most flexible people I know are also the most grounded & self assured people I know. That is no coincidence.
When are you most flexible? I am most flexible with the people I trust the most and in places where I feel most at home. I am flexible when I don’t have an agenda to push or outcomes to achieve. I am flexible when I am in my element and know the lay of the land. And, no, my flexibility has nothing to to do with being engaged to a Yoga Instructor.
I am least flexible when there are unknown elements at play, when I am inexperienced or uncertain. I am inflexible when I am preoccupied with an aganda or afraid of being judged. I am uncompromising when I don’t trust myself.
The secret of flexible people is that they know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that come what may they can handle it. They trust themselves to withstand the unknown. The secret of flexible people is paradoxical, the secret of flexible people is their (inner) strength.

I reckon the post is decorous and on the point. This brief really helped me in my assignment.
The moral of this post is the one thing I hope to pass on to my son, before he reashes adulthood. I think it may be much harder to instill than it was to write. What was the assignment on?
