Holy and Holey

I work on a sense of union, so I can view everybody's worldview as a part of mine. Even just a part to understand. That means practicing constantly letting go, because the parts I didn’t understand are who I used to be. 

The goal being to build up resilience by unpacking my identity. Unpacking the things that I hold on too tightly to. Constantly coming back to working on the skill to adapt, adjust, and accommodate. “When events change, I change my mind. What do you do?” said Paul Samuelson. 

You will have no choice. You will have to adapt. The world changes and there is nothing you can do about that. Sometimes the harder we hold on to things, the more likely we are to lose them. 

I am the worst version of myself when I am desperate. My sense of humour goes, and I become earnest and intense. Building a capacity to accommodate the views of others, and changing scenarios, is ironically an easier way to hold on to the things you really care about. A way to pick your battles. Building resilience is a way not to put at risk the things that really matter, for the things that ultimately don’t. 

Having a good sense of the few things that are important, which allow you flexibility with awareness of barriers, boundaries, and borders around your core. 

You can keep some things holy, as the base of your story. Allowing you a calm foundation. Keep the rest holey, to let the air in for breath. To feed the flames of creativity.
