Motivational Quote - Whatever is flexible and flowing will tend to grow, whatever is rigid and blocked will wither and die.
SparkPeople Translation
Change is the natural order of the world.  When something tries to stand against the force of change, it's eventually destroyed.  Cliffs are eroded, trees are uprooted, granite cracks.  People can crack too.  For us to grow and live - to flourish - it takes adaptation and learning.  Stubborn attachment to a single set of "knowledge" or way of doing things leads to stagnation of the mind and spirit.  Remember to keep an open mind to new people and new ideas.  Challenge yourself to always be learning something new.  Focus on the possibilities of a fresh start, instead of hanging on to old frustrations.  Sails are made with cloth for a reason.  When they're stiff, winds beat against them until they tear.  But if the sails are relaxed and workable, the wind can take you to places you've never been before.
