Transcript
- Sarahn Sankofa: Hello, beautiful people. Today is August 31st, and today's calendar challenge is remain flexible. Sometimes life just wants us to be shaken up a little bit, and we have to remain flexible in the face of uncertainty. Flexibility is the ability to adapt without losing yourself. And you have to learn how to do it because life rarely follows the exact Plan we create for ourselves. But joy often comes from learning to move with the movement and go with the flow instead of fighting against it. The reality is life is going to change the plan. Delays, disappointments, surprises, unexpected opportunities are inevitable. But flexibility helps us to respond instead of getting stuck. Don't let plan A keep you from enjoying plan B. Sometimes the second plan, the plan that you didn't expect, the thing that you didn't know was gonna happen, ends up being the thing that ultimately works out in your favor. It ends up being the thing that brings you joy. So don't feel that you have to be so attached to how you thought that it was supposed to be or how you thought it was supposed to go. Instead, ask yourself what else is possible? When something doesn't go our way, shift from this isn't what I wanted to okay, what can I do with what I have now? And flexibility creates room for surprise. Leaving a little room for spontaneity allows life to delight us, to fulfill us. It's okay for us to change our mind. It's okay for things not to go our way. And flexibility can protect our peace because not everything deserves a battle and a fight. Sometimes the most joyful response is to adjust, to laugh, to pivot, and keep it moving. There is strength and flexibility. Joy isn't always found in getting exactly what you want. Sometimes it's found in discovering That's what you got can be beautiful as well. Just enough is more than enough, Saran says.
