@ John: “In other words, remember it and the lessons learned, but don’t dwell on it.” Well said. Dwelling is all too easy and all too common.

@ Harmony: Doing both is a really great way to compare and contrast what works better! I have done both too. And “LET IT GO” is the WAY TO GO!

I apologize to you that your attempt to subscribe didn’t work. There is a way to do it manually – I e-mailed you. Also, I will try to fix this. I thought I did, but I don’t think so. Working on it!

@ Cath Lawson: Indeed we should focus on achieving success. I’m working really hard at that now.

@ Davina: Thank you. We are honored.

@ Ari: “It speaks of the nature of flexibility required in a pursuit of a better future, don’t you think?”

Yes. And thank you for bringing a wonderful interpretation to the table for all of us to read and learn from. Great thoughts.

Thank you. We are fairly new. Four months or so.

What happens when a bouncing ball hits the wall? (John got this) It COMPRESSES. It does not hold its original shape.

If it did, it will certainly NOT bounce back with the same rigor, momentum and energy that a bouncing ball does.

It speaks of the nature of flexibility required in a pursuit of a better future, don’t you think?

If you are rigid, solid mass, you won’t bounce back. In fact, when you hit the wall hard enough, you’ll crack or break.

By being flexible enough to bounce back, yet solid enough to retain its original shape afterward, you ensure that you continue bouncing no matter how many times you hit the wall.
