Everyone's Perogative

All of us are blessed with the right and ability to change our minds. Some of us do so more often than others. I change my mind on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis. Others who do not change their mind as often may think of this as a negative trait; flaky or flighty. On the contrary, the ability to change one's mind, to "go with flow" should be appreciated as being open to all the possibilities that are presented to us. The Universe is continually giving us new choices to make, new possibilities to explore. Being rigid in the decision making process limits your ability to be open to all that the Universe has to offer. In fact, if one has made a choice, and then wants to reverse their decision, as long as no one is harmed or severely inconvienced, reversals should be honored and respected. We must all be open to the ebb and flow of the Universe. The earth and all it's inhabitants and wonders are fluid and temporary - as are our choices - it's the nature of living.

Today I am choosing to live robustly - tomorrow I may choose to bury my head in the sand! Life is a series of difficult choices and we should always try to choose wisely, but knowing that any decision I make does not have to be set in stone gives me courage to live freely and boldly. Rigidity is fragile, flexibility is strength. Stay strong!
