A short spoken monologue by TJ Walker prompting reflection about personal flexibility and adaptability. Walker asks whether the viewer lets small annoyances derail their mood, offers a personal example (misplacing an iPad), and advises using a Plan B (laptop, cell phone) and not letting minor disruptions persist.
Are you flexible? Are you adaptable? Do you have the ability to not let little things that don't go your way bother you? One of the bad stereotypes about older people is that they become too inflexible. They become too annoyed if something's a little different. And I have to tell you, in many cases, it's true. At least it is for me. I get up in the morning and I can't find my iPad, and it's easy to say, oh, that's going to bother me, and just get annoyed for the next half an hour. That's not helpful. Go to Plan B. If I can't use my iPad, use a laptop, Use a cell phone. The world won't end if I can't find my iPad that minute. Are you flexible? Are you getting better and better at not letting life's annoyances bother.
