For better or worse this concept sort of helps define my attitude and life approach.

I believe in being flexible to situations that arise, pliable as to the best approach.

I also believe in being open minded, shifting my perceptions as necessary and appropriate with new information.

I apply this approach in my work life. I’ve done a few different things during my work career, and while they’re all tied together in someway, it certainly hasn’t been a straight line. Have continued to adjust and learn, perspectives shifting and expanding with new information, pliable to the present.

I apply it in my personal life as well. I’ve been married twice and divorced twice. I’m a single dad who coparents with the kids’ mother. And all three kids are school age. Nothing like children and being a single parent to encourage you to be pliable!

I still have my North Star and core values by which to navigate, but on the tactical, ground-level stuff of life I find I have to bob and weave to survive, evermore I strive to thrive,

GOOD.
