Did you ever hear the old joke about the guy who climbed all the way to the top of the ladder and then found it was perched against the wrong building? Do you know people like that? Are you one of them? It's possible that we all feel like we’re that person in some situations. That's why ?exibility is so important.

Flexibility is the awareness that you have options and the ability to discard one option if it's not working and select another. Call it rigidity or call it pride, but there's something in human nature that makes us continue in situations past when we should have given them up.

We have a tendency to like to do things the way we’ve always done them, and we don't like to let go of ideas we've invested some time in.

Some people think of ?exibility as being wishy-washy, or not caring, or lacking character. That's not what we mean by ?exibility here. We're talking about being able to switch from one goal to another if you can't achieve your goal or if it's just not worth the effort to you. For instance, if you ?nd out you don't like snow and you don't like mountain climbing, do you try to climb Mount Everest just because it seemed like a good idea in the past or because your friends want you to? Or do you ?nd something more enjoyable to spend your time on?

Flexibility is about reevaluating your goals and questioning the importance of those goals. It's about looking beyond the clichés and the "should's" we all learn growing up and replacing those with what is truly meaningful for us. If this means a change from your original goals, that doesn't mean you're a failure. It does mean that you’re choosing to pursue something that may be much more ful?lling to you.

Flexibility also includes searching for alternative solutions to a problem. It means having enough sense to realize when you’ve come to a dead end, and having the ability to shift gears. This requires a strong sense of reality along with the ability to be ?exible.

People with rewarding, ful?lling lives reexamine their goals, their motives, their procedures, and the results they're getting from time to time. They have the ?exibility to switch gears or stay the course. All of these abilities are critical to maintaining an optimistic attitude.
