A tree that is unbending is easily broken. Lao-Tsu

This one falls into the category of life’s great balancing acts.

We must balance our ability to be flexible with our steadfastness to our core values and who we are as a person.

We must give to others without giving up who we are.

We must get along with the crowd while standing apart from it.

We must be our own person while treating and working with others as they want to be treated.

So, I will take a little editorial freedom and add the following to the quote above from Lao-Tsu.

“A bending tree does not touch the sky.”

We must stand tall in our values and our own uniqueness while being flexible enough to survive all the storms and winds of life.

Make it a great day.
