Flexibility Is Not Adaptation

Most people hate change. Even the ones we call "flexible". I'm flexible. But I haven't really been embracing change. Not the way one needs to in order to succeed. Change is what empires are made out of, and being flexible just means that you roll with the punches. It doesn't mean that you're out there actively seeking change. I often feel paralyzed by the array of choices, but really there's no reason not to pick one arbitrarily and get started. Any attempt to get started is better than sitting around doing nothing. If it turns out to be the wrong choice, at least you've learned what you don't want. Hopefully you eventually get lucky and make a correct choice, but you have to keep making them. Sitting around gets you nowhere.
