Uncertainty and change is part of life
It has been gratifying to see so many focusing on embracing the uncertainty of the future and start to design and navigate their way forward instead of looking into the rear view mirror for inspiration.
I’d like to end the year with a quote from Brain & Culture by Bruce E Wexler that I think goes a long way toward explaining the “deceptiveness” of our thinking and why we struggle to make the best possible decisions when confronted with difficult issues.
“During the first part of life the brain and mind are highly plastic, require sensory input to grow and develop, and shape themselves to the major recurring themes of the environment. By early adulthood, the mind and brain have a diminished ability to alter those structures … much of the brain activity is then devoted to making the environment conform to the established structures.”
