Dear Fred
How do I develop flexibility and still maintain integrity and passion? How do I keep pursueing goals without getting frustrated by the interuptions and impatient with others around me?
Fred's Response
Consider how much patience others have to have to accommodate you. I think you would find it tit for tat. Most of us want to control circumstances in our favor. We can expect that others have the same desire. Most people’s lives are series of changes—which we must meet constructively, which is the flexibility I talk about. Few things in life are completely black and white. One of our Christians statesmen went to Washington expecting to vote right and wrong. Every issue he came upon was gray and so he voted for the issue that was less gray. He never came upon which he could be totally sure off. He was a doctor and former missionary.
