Be as strong as the tree that bends in the wind.

A big rule in our house is you must be flexible. To time, to people, to circumstances that require a little give or a lot of push. When these situations arise, as they often do, toughness can be forged into our framework, giving further support to future times when flexibility is needed.

Even the smallest sacrifices or adjustments to our self-imposed schedules over time can make us more aware that most of our plans can be changed, adjusted, or even canceled without resulting in catastrophe.

I’ve been guilty in the past of overreacting when a major change arose or something was canceled on my account or someone else. Recently, I’ve been working diligently on trying to handle these moments with more grace. After almost a year now of a regular meditation and Yoga practice, consuming information and lifehacks regarding human efficiency, and trying to have a great reason every time I tell my daughter ‘no,’ I’m beginning to see results.

Durability is important because no good life is void of hits. Blows in the form of life events that bring you to your knees and give you perspective. If they are survivable, durability along with flexibility will help you recover more efficiently. Flexibility to lessen the blow and durability to ready you for the next change in your ‘plan.’

Be as strong as the tree that bends in the wind.

DIRT WORDS AND MUSIC BY MATT WALBERG ©2012 BMI

CHORUS   Daddy was made outa dirt  

VERSE I   There's stories in the bible I like   But I aint no quoter   I agree we all came from the same   mother and father my brother   I believe if you wanna go to   worship or play the guitar   or work that dirt out in the yard   You gotta feel it child Say amen   Holy day ain't Sunday it's a feeling

CHORUS   Daddy was made outa dirt  

VERSE II Most of the ones I believe in have many shortcomings   I have seen the holiest of folks tear down   their honest buddies   We all done things that could send us to hell   You gotta cherish that dirt right under your nails   Forgiven child say amen   Holy day ain't Sunday it's a feeling

CHORUS   Daddy was made outa dirt  

VERSE III One thing scares me more than all those stories   human beings  bringing about the hateful self fullfilled prophecies   It's one thing if God came down   Now we got bombs to bring him around   Duck down child, say amen   holy day is scary it's a killing

CHORUS   Daddy was made outa dirt
