Flexibility

The other day, I was listening to a presentation on parts of the Periodic Table. The instructor talked about how nonmetals are brittle. She then asked what the opposite of brittle is, and the students said it was strong.

Think about that for a moment… Flexibility = Strength.

I want to be strong, and I work hard to be strong. But if I want to be even stronger, I need to work on my flexibility, too. Strength isn’t just about lifting heavy weights or pushing through tough situations. It’s also about adapting, bending without breaking, and finding balance in facing challenges.

This lesson applies to more than just physical fitness. In life, rigidity can be a weakness. Adapting to change, embracing new perspectives, and recovering from setbacks make us truly resilient. True strength lies in the interplay between power and pliability.

So today, I’m committing to becoming more flexible—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Flexibility isn’t just a physical trait; it’s a mindset, a lifestyle, and a key to unlocking greater strength.

What about you? How can you incorporate flexibility into your pursuit of strength?
