Flexible Expectations

Flexibility is the virtue that allows you to unearth the joy and discover the blessings lurking in each situation you must face. The key to being free from anxiety in both times of heartbreak and times of happiness is to maintain an adaptable attitude in regard to your expectations. The world can be an unpredictable place—our grandly detailed and well-conceived plans are often made moot by circumstances beyond our control. When you are flexible, you take each moment as it comes and consider unexpected situations in terms of how you can make the most of them rather than how inconvenient they are. You’ll feel fulfilled and joyous, even in challenging times. The flexibility you exhibit will allow you to make the most of any surprises that come your way.
