Flexibility
It is important to plan carefully, and it is just as
important to be flexible. Success and achievement usually do
not end up coming about in exactly the way you planned.
While it is vital to have a realistic, workable method for
getting from here to there, remember to keep in mind that
the plan is not the goal. To reach the goal, you may need to
relinquish the original plan, or at least certain parts of
the plan.
Just because something goes wrong along the way and the plan
doesn't work, does not mean that the goal is unreachable. It
simply signals to you that it's time to be more flexible.
Flexibility means being committed to your plan without being
completely dependent on it. Flexibility means being open to
the numerous other options available to you.
For anything you want to attain, there are many ways to get
there. When one path becomes blocked, don't turn back.
Instead, look for a workable detour and get busy moving
again. You may soon find that the going is even better than
you could have imagined.
