Waterfall – Change

Change Is Inevitable – Not just change, but revolution. Revolution is what we warriors are all about. Cultivate flexible thinking. Don’t invest psychologically in one way requirements.

Thought Exercise – What if everything were completely different? What if things turned upside down? This is the kind of planning and strategizing warriors have to do. What’s the “Last Best Option?”

Be Ready for Anything – Play out the scenarios in your Training Journal. Have a plan A, B, C. Learn chess to help with thinking of several moves ahead. Ask others, “What would you do?” As you read/watch a piece of fiction, imagine yourself inside this problem. You can also learn a lot from history. Start a “What IF? Club” in which members dream up survival scenarios. Play the game Worst Case Scenario.

Models – “Progress is impossible without change” – George Bernard Shaw

“Change is the law of life. Those who look only to past and present are certain to miss the future.” – John F. Kennedy

“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability but comes after continuous struggle.” – Martin Luther King

“It is not the strongest of our species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change” – Charles Darwin

#Haiku: Unwanting

Curbing desire
Won’t work;
Evolving desire will.
Admit it:
We’ve changed
