I switched things up this morning and decided to listen to Seth Godin’s Akimbo podcast on the way to work instead of the radio. He was talking about being “supple” and resilient in the face of change. One thing he said stood out to me this morning as a good reminder to keep in mind. He said:
“The world does change more slowly when you fight against it.”
Being at a place where there are a lot of change in my personal life coming in the next year, and there are a lot of technologies that are (or will) rapidly changing how we work, it’s important to think of how I can adapt and change with the change that is happening around me. Even though the extrinsic change that happens around us day to day feels inevitable, growing and changing myself is not as simple as waiting around for something to happen. It requires effort and work.
