CHANGE. It’s the one constant we habitually resist.
The world evolves fast. Seasons move at breathtaking pace. It’s unsettling to admit yesterday’s solutions can become today’s problems.
Take London’s 2012 Olympics. Analysts only asked what athletes were doing differently in pursuit of the competitive-edge. That’s because the status-quo (a product of the old) is only threatened by a fresh approach.
And while most of us aren’t Olympians, our pursuit of success is no less real in the arena of life.
That being the case, why resist change?
