Change is the only constant.

That’s a common expression, one that I think
is really true—especially when it comes to
human nature.
Try to remember the things that occupied the
center of your thoughts 20 years ago. Chances
are you have a different set of concerns that
consume your mental energies now. You may
even find yourself marveling now at the things
you used to care so passionately about. That's
because life changes us.
There is an amazing journey each of us is on,
where we explore something in depth for a
while and then we stop obsessing about it. It
moves into the background. Maybe we’ve
outgrown it. Maybe we’ve put systems in place
to deal with it in an automatic way. Some
things that were once central to our daily
purpose fade into insignificance or get entirely
forgotten. Some things re-emerge to take
center stage again.
The point is, this cycle of change is going to
keep happening. Last week I wrote about the
importance of preparing for growth in an
economic and practice management context,
so that you are ready to make the most of
each new level.
The same principle should apply to living. We
are all on a journey. We are not the same as
we were yesterday; we are not the same as we
will be tomorrow. But what’s really great is
when each step of the journey enlightens us to
the next step, so that it’s not just a journey of
change, but one of evolution and growth.
Tomorrow will be different; time will take care
of that. As to whether they will be better,
that’s entirely up to you.
