Change is the only constant in life, and every day we are called to reckon with this. Today, it may be most apparent to you in national or global tumult, a career pivot you’re contemplating, or relationship dynamics you’re struggling to tweak or adapt to.

In its frenzy to find stability today, it will leap to ways of thinking and behaving that will leave you feeling even more stuck, stifled, and afraid tomorrow. Yet, if you are inclined toward personal growth, you can use the tidal forces of change to propel you to ever-greater wisdom, inner stability, and even growth.
