"Rugged Flexibility"

Writer: CultivateEdCultivateEd

“To be rugged is to be tough, determined, and durable. To be flexible is to consciously respond to altered circumstances or conditions, to adapt and bend easily without breaking,” Stulberg writes. “Put those together and the result is a gritty endurance, an anti-fragility that not only withstands change, but thrives in its midst. This is rugged flexibility, the quality you need to become a master of change.”

I think the central point of learning and growth is being adaptable to change. Life presents the best opportunities - as it is unpredictable and surprises you at every turn. Like Grit's passion and persistence or Growth Mindset's focus on development and practice, cultivating "Rugged Flexibility" causes you to reflect, change, persevere, and ultimately grow.
