Was taking some lessons this morning from the famous Jim Rohn... Being tall, I related to his analogy of it being great to 'stand tall', but knowing when to bend, when to change. The greatest of trees can be taken down by a hurricane, can't they? Simple by saturating the roots with enough rains and winds ripping them right out after hundreds of years. Sometimes I got lucky I believe because I could be unyielding and get away with it. But one of the greatest lessons I have picked up in these last 6 months actually is that while it's ok to hang on to the 'old ways', it's more successful to 'bend' and 'morph' like those willow trees that seemed to be the only type standing after the deluge.
Sometimes it's hard to embrace a new program, a new way of exercising, of thinking, or eating especially when you're coming off of many other failed ones. You might be holding on to those old methods, those old facts, even though you see they aren't working for you .
You can still stand tall in your conviction, but know when to bend.
Day 9 ✔️
