Adapt To Life - Don't Get Stuck In Your Ways

To be able to adapt - what would we do without this?

How could we cope with life if, when we started doing something, we could not change our course, change our mind, alter what we do?

If we got stuck and could not change or alter what we were doing - what a disadvantage that would be.

We need to learn how to be flexible in life and your will be surprised at high much more you can take advantage of in life. You will not readily dismiss things and you'll be able to reconcile and harmonize your life in interesting ways.

Decide to be adaptable in your life.

Just decide to give it a chance - for a day, but better a week or two. And then assess the changes. And in particular the way you feel within yourself.

Nobody said adapting to life and circumstances would be easy.

At times we can question ourselves and our ability to change.

The power of words . . .

At times like these words can be very powerful - their ideas, thoughts, understandings.

If we let them filter through and allow the words their power to move and rejuvenate.

I hope this page will do this and more. I hope this example will help to express life in an insightful, penetrating but easy to read manner. And help us to question the lives we lead and the manner in which we live them.

It is a real gift to be able to be able to adapt
to changing circumstances, the consequences to accept
for otherwise how am I to decide anything in my life
I need to adjust, to alter my stance, to yield the knife

Where parts of my life need a spring clean
some of the results I should have foreseen
had I had my eyes open and been on alert
been flexible, easy-going, I would have been able to convert

More of my energies into productive action
been able to modify my attitude in a better fashion
so to be able to deal better with challenges
though, looking back, it does seem simply ages

Since I looked at life in a good way
I have been lost in the stresses and strains of life somehow
and have forgotten to accommodate and comply with the demands
of life, and failed to harmonize myself with the strands

Of life that enter into my domain
some are familiar, others just give me a migraine
which seldom helps me be receptive to life's course
though I should take a time out and adapt and not force

Myself to do things in a wooden way
and from my true self find myself do stray
into areas of life where I have no experience
such variable input is no help but a real hindrance

To my moving forward and accepting my lot
I would do better to reconcile myself and be more compliant
with the way I see my life is going
and realize the grace of my life transforming

Into something new and brighter in every way
I know this is good for me and feels like my birthday
with the blessings and good fortune that I do feel
if changing my attitude which to me does reveal

A flexibility and adaptation I never knew I had
is now coming to the fore and starts to add
greater fulfillment and joy into the things that I do
I never realized that a transformation could rescue

Me from my hiatus for the want of adapting
to life in a better more relaxed and comforting
way that brings me joy, satisfaction and contentment
in great abundance, and it all lay dormant

Within inside of me if I had only known
the seeds of which I had apparently sown
when I had taken myself aside and taken stock
of the life I was leading and removed the padlock

That I had provided by being so set in my ways
inflexible, lacking confidence to alter and amaze
myself with what can happen with such a simple change
what a transformation in life for such a simple exchange.

All best,
Martin
