Don't Be Concrete, flow like a river
The mind that hardens into certainty becomes brittle. Like water finding its way through rock, wisdom flows around obstacles rather than breaking against them. When we cement ourselves into rigid positions : this is right, that is wrong, I am this way, we sacrifice our greatest strength: adaptability. The master craftsman knows that even the finest blade must bend or it will shatter. Your beliefs, your identity, and your understanding of truth are all works in progress, not monuments. Stay curious about your own convictions. The moment you declare something about yourself as permanent, you've begun the slow process of becoming a statue in your own garden.
