Personal change occurs continuously as well. People grow and develop new skills, attitudes, knowledge, beliefs, networks, and other assets at varying rates. People who recognize, value, and nurture their own fluidity, will better adapt to their changing environments. Likewise, goal-setting needs to be reconsidered in light of constant change. Goal-setting can be useful, but the dogged pursuit of goals can prevent people from optimizing chance opportunities.
Goals have to be seen in context with serendipitous discoveries.
Follow Your Heart. When change is constant, relatively stable guideposts become all the more important. Skills, knowledge, and attitudes are simply tools that allow the path to be followed. A corollary to this message is that dreaming is normal, natural, and appropriate. Ultimately, reality will impose itself on people and trying to accelerate this process may be of little benefit.
