Flexibility and Fun! When I decide to do something, or wish to achieve something in a certain area of my life, I strive forward with focused determination. Being focused on a dream or desire and striving determinedly towards achieving results is a healthy attitude. Unless it becomes the entire focus of your attention and everything you do. Being inflexible can cause frustration as a result of being stubborn and single minded. Obsessiveness causes confusion and we lose track of the purpose we have undertaken and seldom enjoy the experience. I have discovered, that if I accept before pursuing a purposeful endeavour, that I will have bad days, make mistakes, experience frustrations, mishaps and failure and that this is all part of the experience of striving to achieve a dream and fulfil a desire, if I remain flexible, then the experience is always more enjoyable! Flexibility allows us to make mistakes, without flailing ourselves with self-criticism and condemnation. Flexibility allows us to have bad days and gives us the courage to keep trying the next day. Being flexible allows us to make adjustments in our attitude and be accommodating to circumstances and events. Being flexible allows us to learn, have fun and enjoy the experience even if we do make mistakes and go off course. Having fun and enjoying ourselves, being happy and experiencing the benefits of a purposeful endeavour are of course the ultimate achievement. If I find myself stuck determinedly in a quagmire of work and I am no longer enjoying the pursuit of my passion, a moment of silliness, an hour spent in laughing playfulness or a day taken for recreation and pleasure.... soon restores my balance and rejuvenates me more than enough to continue with renewed vigour and zest! Whilst you need to be active and purposeful, when striving towards an end result, being flexible and having fun through the journey of your experience, will enrich the the successful achievement of any end result you might wish to reach! © 2001 to 2007 Mands WhyWeight - All Rights Reserved |
