Truth vs Change

Don’t seek to be known, seek to know. Don’t seek attention, be driven by intention. Truth guarantees triumph. Pursue truth even if it challenges what you know. If you never learn anything new, you’ll remain trapped by your dark past. What you don’t know can kill you. In truth, there’s freedom. Truth never changes.

No matter how strange new knowledge may sound to you, pursue truth. If someone lives in the dark for too long, their eyes hurt when light is switched on. Never be content with what you know. The quality of your life directly correlates with what you know. Search for truth in wisdom.

We live in a rapidly changing world. There is no debate whether you’re changing, the question is how fast are you changing. Your relevance depends on your speed of change. The survival of any species depends on its ability to adapt to an ever evolving eco system.

Those who adapt fast enough are always on top of the food chain. If the change around you is faster than the change within you, you’ll lag behind in your bills and you’ll soon fizzle away. It’s one thing to talk about technology, it’s another thing for your professional life to be driven by technology.

That’s why you need to be grounded on truth so that you don’t get swayed by every wind of doctrine. With swiftly shifting winds, our values should remain put, but our approaches and strategies in life must rapidly evolve. If you don’t know your true north, you’ll either be paranoid with change or conform to a different set of values.
