I have been working with “victim consciousness” for the past year. For me, this is one aspect of awareness that has been liberating. The “being flexible” comes hardest to me when I feel others, children included, are overstepping my boundaries. Not rigid walls, boundaries-those flexible things. However, I still become saddened by my perception of a disagreeable situation, wanting it to be a happier and more harmonious one. I also find myself rigid with people who call themselves spiritual and then take no mindfulness of how they speak to me. I remain constantly mindful of how I treat another, not perfectly, and sometimes I feel I am the one doing all the conscious and awareness work,even though I KNOW everyone is doing the best they can. I would love to have more flexibility by not holding mental blocks or markers of their inability to choose higher in the moment, to create more harmony. Holding onto my dissatisfaction, instead of accepting “what is,” really keeps me stuck. Thanks for reading. Namaste’~DawnaLove

Letting go of the reins when one is fearful that things will not go the way they want, is difficult to say the least. But it appears that this is exactly what we should do - have confidence that things will work out in spite of our best efforts. Not always easy and the older we get, the harder it is to let go.

Hi Mike
My name is Tami and I’ve just read your article “Be Flexible”. It really came on time! Few hours ago I yelled at my 13 years old daughter and she was bitterly insulted and hurt. Since then I feel a strong pain in my throat, not to mention the pain in my heart and my soul…and then I read what you wrote. Every word was meant for me, of course…So thank you for these wise and kind words. I hope I can apply them now in my life. Tami
