Yesterday, the weather was scorching at 32C. Today, it is a very comfortable 27C. Things change, and sometimes, very fast or very often.
Normally, what we do is to adapt. We conform to our surroundings and change so we can still survive. So it’s hot? We perspire. However, adaptation has this sense of passivity, we adapt through the internal mechanisms we have and those who are fit to handle the changes, survive. I think there is a better way to handle these changes. COPING and FIGHTING is better. Coping is defined as “expending conscious effort to solve personal and interpersonal problems, and seeking to master, minimize or tolerate stress or conflict.”, “To contend with difficulties and act to overcome them”, “To deal with, to meet in battle.” It’s cold? Then don’t just sit there and wait for your body to have goosebumps. Wear a jacket. Go somewhere hotter. We have to learn not just to adjust in order to fit, but to act in order to win. Those who do more than just adapt, those who proactively fight, they will rule the world.
