Flexibility Trumps Structure...prepare for turbulence



In life, there are no certainties. We must prepare for the bumps along the way as best we can. If we spend a little time thinking about what could possibly come up then we are already planning how to avoid being caught unaware and recover foresight and choice.

Just think: What's the worst case scenario? What would that mean? Can I handle that? What can I do today to make it easier when/if it happens? What would (insert mentor here) do? Can it be avoided? What can be learned from this awareness? 

Be flexible, have behavioural flexibility. Then you will control the situation. Yes, things happen, however it is how you respond to these challenges that matters. Note: Respond rather than react! When you react, you are at effect, you always want to be at cause. You choose what happens in your life, every time whether you acknowledge that or not. Every single action or non-action is your choice. NOT choosing to act is also a choice!

If you accept that that there are no problems, that presupposes that there is only choice. An abundance of it in fact. So accept things are going to happen, respond, ask powerful, quality questions of yourself and be flexible.
