REMAINING FLEXIBLE AND IN ALIGNMENT TO DIVINE ORDER

I am now willing to forgive myself .  .  . for being hard, rigid, unable to bend or give.

Is it worth it?  Is the anger, resentment and stress you feel in your body paying off?  In other words, is the way you feel getting you what you want? Is holding your ground, defending your position, promoting your opinion making you feel any better?  How is what you are doing paying off?  Is it paying you enough to go through what you are going through to get it? It is true that static, friction and challenge can lead to breakthroughs of new insights and information. However, new insights can only happen when you are flexible.  Being flexible does not mean you are weak. Nor does it mean that you are caving in or giving up.  When you are flexible, you are open.  Open to doing what is best for yourself and everyone involved.  Flexibility is a reflection of your willingness to do what needs to be done with no attachment to how it gets done. Done is the key! DONE is an acronym for Divine Order Now Expressing.  When you are willing to honor divine order, you will learn how to be flexible. Flexibility means surrendering, giving up your preconceived onions about people, circumstances and the ways things should be. "Should" is a judgment! When you find that you are "shoulding," know that you are in a struggle for power and control.  You will not win!  When you are not flexible, chances are you will be broken or torn down.  Flexibility means seeing the good in everything and being open to gaining an understanding of how things work.  When you find yourself fighting to get what you want, to have your way, drop your hands to your sides, take a deep breath and ask yourself, Is this worth fighting for? Until today, you may have believed that it was necessary to stand your ground and fight to get what you want.  Just for today, bend your way, asking the divine forces to show you the way. Today I am devoted to remaining flexible and in alignment with the divine order of all things! From Until Today!     by Iyanla Vanzant
