Today’s card is the Universe’s way of teasing me, I think. I pulled from the gorgeous Magical Times Empowerment deck by Jody Bergsma (USGames) this morning. I didn’t focus. I didn’t meditate. Just grabbed the deck and pulled. And snorted when I saw the card title.
Flexibility. Gently flow through the turbulence. Life has the ability to shape you. Bend, don’t break.
This echoes a phrase I saw yesterday. It’s one I’ve heard (and said) a lot. The willow survives the storm because it bends.
Life throws a lot at us. We have to think on our feet. We have to negotiate seemingly endless bumps and turns. We have to actually live.
Life isn’t meant to be a straight line, y’all.
We set goals. We have to change those goals or alter how we get to them all the time.
That’s not failure. That’s life.
It goes back to that other saying about giving thanks for unanswered prayers. Our today selves aren’t fully cognizant of what our next year selves will need. We make goals based on today’s self so it’s okay that things change as we move through life.
Be flexible but more than that? Be gentle with yourself when you realize a goal needs to be moved or reshaped. It’s okay. That’s life.

Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on!
And do yourself a favor! Sign up for free goodies from Leonie Dawson. Her changed how I do business but, more importantly, how I VIEW business. Mind-altering stuff. [aff]
Ha, facing up to the need to change goals isn’t always easy. Thanks for the reminder that it’s okay to not always know what we’ll need at some later point in time 🙂
