In yesterday’s column I wrote about the value of discipline. Discipline, when combined with commitment, brings great accomplishments into your life. But don’t allow yourself to become boring and stiff in the process.

Life requires adaptability and flexibility. If something isn’t working, change and do it quickly. This is especially useful in team settings. Just because “we’ve always done it this way” may have worked for a time, it’s necessary to question and evolve. There may be a better way.

Young people bring creativity to the table. Enthusiasm, too. Older people have the benefit of wisdom, but that doesn’t mean they know it all. Combining creativity, enthusiasm and wisdom, in the right environment, brings life to projects.

If you already have discipline but are inflexible, you run the risk of becoming miserable. Expand your worldview. Take some risks. Remember to live while you are going through this life.

God created us for a purpose. Even He has flexibility. God altered his own physical law when he made the sun stand still. We aren’t that powerful, but our brains have massive, untapped potential.

Get disciplined and get going. Theres a great life waiting for you…
