WILLING TO BEND

         The guiding principle of life is change. Just when we get comfortable, discomfort erupts; just as we make peace, new conflict confronts us, and just as we learn the rules, the rules change. It's a never-ending process of adjustment and revision, and there is both frustration and refreshment in this fact.
     In a world that is constantly shifting, we attach ourselves with gusto to whatever we can in order to feel secure, but the only real security lies in adaptability. We must learn to be flexible or we will be broken at every turn.

I resist the desire to force certainty and predictability on my life and my future. I am open and willing to change.
