When time slipped into August, I felt the heat, and I am not talking about the weather. It is clear to me that a fundamental shakeup is needed to avoid the red queen effect.
Either chance events or my attempts to breakthrough or both brought new connections and information into my life. It was mind-blowing. It also happened on two different fronts. I see new mental models that I can apply to different disciplines in life. I also see a new corner of world that is bubbling with new possibilities.
It is quite unexpected, to be honest. But in a good way. I am glad my prior knowledge and prejudices didn’t prevent the new information from sinking in. It is not always easy.
Nothing is quite as expected so far in 2020. So rather than trying to predict the future relying on my prior experience, I have decided to prepare myself to embrace the unexpected.
