Dynamic Approach To Life

I once met someone doing a particular task in a very old-fashioned way that has been left many years ago. When I asked him why he was doing it that way considering the fact that a newer way to do it has been found. He simply told me that this was how he was taught and he has been using it for years. To him, the world was just static and without making room for any form of dynamism. The newer way was more efficient, faster, less demanding, less time consuming and better. Yet he preferred to go through the old way. This is what happens when you do not employ dynamism to life. As things change, so also your approach should also change.

Something that worked for you in the past may not remain infinitely potent, there will come to a point when you need to upgrade on your methods. When you notice that something does not work for you or stopped working, then there is no need to keep wasting your time thinking that it will work someday. In fact, the longer you waste on it, the more you are distracted from doing what really works. In life, it is true that you should not give up and that you should always keep persisting even if you have tried before and failed. However, you should try differently in your subsequent attempts. This is because you cannot keep doing the same thing and hope for the outcome to be different.

You may have a dream of what you want to achieve or even an idea, a goal or an aspiration. All these may be static because they are like a destination. However, the methods, processes, and ways to achieve it are like the route you take to the destination, which can change over time. For example; if you want to move from point A to Point C and there is a quicker and better way to get to it without necessarily passing through point B, then you can follow that route as long as you will arrive at the destination. At the end, what will matter is the arrival at the destination, not the route you took.

Over the years, I have observed a very strict rule that should guide life and it works each time. The rule is to be flexible at each point in life. To achieve greatness, you do not have to straitjacket yourself into a particular method, sometimes you may even need to break protocols, bend the rules, suspend the laws, and move beyond the norms in order to blaze the trail. If Orville and Wilbur Wright had strictly abided by the laws of gravity, they would not have invented a flying machine - airplane. If you are so mindful of following after laws, then you will not explore as much as you should.

If you keep doing the same thing as it was in the beginning, then you have already limited yourself from seeing the blessedness that life can offer. The people that have made a lot of impact in life figured out ways to move beyond the norm and go above the ordinary to do something extraordinary. At least even if it is not doing the extraordinary per se, but doing even the ordinary and mundane things in an extraordinary way. You will be surprised how your methods, processes, and approaches can determine the overall outcome of what you are doing. That is; it may not be what you do that will eventually count the most at the end, but how you do it.

As the world evolves and new trends emerge, it is a reminder that new requirements also will complement them in order to achieve the required result. When the world moved from the manual typewriter to the computer systems, the people that did not upgrade with the trend were left behind. In this era, if you are still stuck with the old manual typewriter, then you are already almost gone into obsoletion. It is true that something may have been very pivotal in the past, but you should know that we live in a highly dynamic and ever-changing world, so you have to follow it with dynamism to know when to change and how to do it quickly. Always have in mind that the world is not waiting for you to get ready to change; you either change and adapt with the trend or you will be left behind.
