Be Flexible to Moving from one Task to Another By Ilchi Lee Earth Citizen
Flexibility in the body is an obvious requirement for health. If we cannot move well, we do not feel well. Without flexibility, we lack energy and motivation.
The same can be said of the brain. To function well, it must be flexible, moving from one task to another with ease. Unfortunately, the brain can succumb to limiting habits very easily. Even small children tend to favor that which is “easy,” and they avoid things that are “hard.” This tendency will often prevent a child from discovering his or her true potential.
For example, a child may decide at a very young age, “I can’t sing.” To some degree this may be true. Perhaps his or her genetic makeup simply does not include the traits required for genuine musical talent. Maybe he or she is completely tone deaf. But does that mean he or she cannot improve and achieve some level of musical proficiency? Probably not. The child may never be an opera star, or even a suitable member of the local choir, but he or she very likely can gain some musical competence. By deciding not to attempt singing, the child has unconsciously denied the brain the opportunity to develop the complex synaptic connections involved in musicianship.
