Our world is evolving.
The truth is evolution occurs: 1) whether we recognize it or not 2) seek it or not 3) stimey it or not 4) control it or not. Change is inevitable. Our relationship with this inevitability, shapes our perception.
Evolution exists at the intersection of what is and what could be.
Some cling to the known, fearful that change could be dangerous. Safe in their what is, they scoff at ideas suggesting change. Is change inherently dangerous? No. It could feel dangerous if you perceive change as throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Some thrash against the known. Their pioneer spirit calls them to explore change as what could be. Is staying the same inherently bad? No. It could feel bad if you perceive resistance to change as stifling new possibilities.
Throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Stifling new possibilities. Those are two extremes on an infinite perception of reality. Change/No Change is binary. It’s either/or.
What if Change/No Change is not mutually exclusive? What if we valued them as equally important ingredients in our favorite recipe?
If we recognized the merits of each - if we understood the necessity of their contrast – if we chose to pick both instead of one – we would synthesize an opportunity.
We can deliberately choose the best attributes of each and blend what’s working with how can it even be better?
Not everything needs to change. Not everything needs to stay the same. You are allowed to choose both.
