There’s No Going Back to “Normal” –

Permanent Whitewater is the New Normal

 

It’s almost trite to say this – the only constant is change.

However…over the past 15 years or so, there have been enormous amounts of energy spent resisting change – waiting and hoping for things to go back to “normal”.

It won’t happen.  It’s useful to acknowledge and accept this, and get started … at learning how to learn, and equipping yourself for constant adaptability. 

It’s a good - but not the only - way forward.

At the same time, you won’t survive by trying to make yourself into a chameleon.  You can’t be all things to all people.

Connecting to your self – your values, your ways to build and acquire knowledge, and understand and use your intuition – is in my opinion the only way to go.

Good point. Pretending to be yourself is the way to go.

yeah … found myself thinking that you need to know yourself in order to understand that you’re pretending

… and if you’re pretending and don’t know you are, maybe everything seems normal … where would I sign up for that ? WB ?

ok ok … and if you pretend and know you’re pretending, how lame is that ?

Jon; I was waiting for all ten to be posted so that I could read them as a group. You know, get the gestalt of it. So what happened to #9? I can’t find it …
