Experiencing the Peaceful Realization in The True Strength of Flexibility

The strength of the palm tree is not in its ability to exert great force to move objects but in its ability to withstand great force and still grow tall and be amongst the first to feel the warmth of the sun.

Sometimes, you find yourself fighting too hard to resist great forces trying to influence your life. It can be a worthwhile practice to step back and objectively look at what’s happening. Who knows, you might see a much easier path forward than fighting every challenge and obstacle with the greatest force you can muster.

And when you can’t see an easier way, maybe just bend a little and let the force pass so you can raise up stronger than before.
