<p>Last week’s post included this quote from <em>The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living </em>by the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler: “Without cultivating a pliant mind, our outlook becomes brittle and our relationship to the world becomes characterized by fear. But by adopting a flexible, malleable approach to life, we can maintain our composure even in the most restless and turbulent conditions. It is through our efforts to achieve a flexible mind that we can nurture the resiliency of the human spirit.”</p>
<p>After reading this post, <a href="http://www.patkatz.com/">Patricia Katz </a>sent me this insightful comment:</p>
<p>“Not getting too attached to an elusive and imaginary status quo - now that is indeed the central challenge of change!”</p>
<p>Pat has a wealth of excellent and thoughtful articles on balancing our busy lives and giving ourselves “permission to pause” at <a href="http://www.pauseworks.com/library/articles.php">http://www.pauseworks.com/library/articles.php</a>. </p>
