                                     Happy Thanksgiving!

This Week's Focus: Change

Key Points:

·  For most of human history, life was stable and predictable, and change was rare and dangerous. Our species evolved to see change as a threat rather than an opportunity.

·  Today, change is constant and rapid across all aspects of life (economy, environment, society, etc.). Because of this new reality, we can no longer afford to see change as a danger.

·  To thrive in the modern world, we must actively "re-wire" ourselves to be open and accepting of change. This means making a conscious choice to be hopeful and view change as a miracle rather than a threat.

🆓 The teachings are given freely!

Why Change is so Difficult

Our struggle with change is a legacy of our past. For most of human history, life was defined by stability. People lived where their parents lived, did the same work, and held the same beliefs. Consistency was synonymous with survival, ensuring the transmission of crucial skills and maintaining social order. In this world, change was typically a danger—a famine, war, or plague. Consequently, our brains evolved to view change as a threat, something to be met with caution and resistance.

Today, we face a different reality. The gradual progression of centuries has been replaced by relentless, simultaneous shifts in every sphere of life: economic, environmental, social, and political. The digital revolution alone transforms how we work and communicate at a breathtaking pace. This creates a profound mismatch: our ancient, stability-craving minds are now forced to operate in a world of perpetual flux.

This dissonance means our innate resistance is now a liability. To thrive, we cannot wait for comfort; we must actively "re-wire" ourselves. We must consciously build "change competence"—the ability to be comfortable with ambiguity, open to new ideas, and resilient in the face of the unknown. This is not passive but an active choice we make daily.

Therefore, when change calls to us, we must learn to honor it. It is a conscious decision to shift our perspective from fear to one of openness and hope. By choosing to see change not as a danger, but as the very miracle of progress and new possibility, we finally align ourselves with the dynamic rhythm of modern life.
