Adapt

We have to learn how to adapt.  We have to be WILLING to adapt.  The world changes every second, minute, hour, day, week, month, and year.  Change within this world is about the only absolute constant any of us can count on.  We live in a world and country here in the United States, that is ever-evolving, ever-changing.  Sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad.  Nonetheless, constant change is reality.  The majority of the evolution, the majority of the change, is completely out of our hands.  We have no control over it.  No problem.  We have the choice and opportunity to learn, and then, adapt.  I am NOT suggesting, nor implying, we become foundation-less, spine-less, robots.  People who are tossed about within the currents of popular culture.  NO!  ABSOLUTELY NOT!  I am suggesting though, stating, change is constant, and it is inevitable.  How can I, How can we, learn to adapt, so that we can grow as humans, stay current, and most effectively impact those around us?  We have to adapt.  We have to be willing to change.  Be willing to listen to others.  Show understanding, show compassion towards others.  If we fail to adapt, fail to change, adjust, we will fail to learn.  We will fail to grow.  Eventually, we will fail to impact others.  We will lose touch.  Lose the fight.  If we want to be the most effective individuals we possibly can, the most influential, impactful, we must adapt.  We must be open to meeting people right where they are, no matter where that may be, where that may lead.  We must be open to adjusting our views, perspectives, and possibly even our long-held beliefs.  We have to be open to the fact we may, just simply, be wrong!  Adjust.  Be willing to change.  Listen.  Learn.  Grow.  Influence.  Impact.  Change the world!  Be a light.  Be an example, others can look to!
