M I N D F U L L M O N D A Y When we really desire something we can be domineering. We are strong we insist and push. Sometimes being assertive is what the situation calls for. Other times, it doesn’t work at all. Sometimes, to get what we want we need to yield, to soften so that we can begin to navigate what the world is offering to us. Think of how water erodes away the surface of the sharp rocks and edges of glass, converting their rough rugged edges to sculpted smooth objects. Today when pushing doesn’t work, try to take a step back mentally and fluidly receive what you are experiencing. Witness how your softness can also be a source of strength.
