Strength, Stability and Flexibility

To start, how about I spell out what I mean by those terms?
  • Strength: the ability to exert force
  • Stability; the ability to resist force
  • Flexibility: range of motion
​As a lifter, I think that in training or in competition, that looks like the above, and also applies to more than the physical body.
As you can see from my venn diagram, I think it also applies to more than muscle, joints and sinew.   We all have varying degrees of strength, stability and flexibility.  Moreover, each depends on the circumstance and context. 
Are you full of grit and able to withstand pressure? Great; but maybe you miss a chance for growth. 
Are you quite open to change and people naturally follow you where you lead? Careful pied-piper;  that you do not criss- cross the land dragging a merry but aimless band. 
You try: I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences on when you have seen these deployed really well and not so well. As with so many things, its about balance and deploying the right things at the right time. That means reflecting on the circumstance you find yourself in. For some, this is natural. For others, you may need all three just to take the time to dig deep….
