On the one hand, there might be good reasons to keep doing it. Lessons learned through experience can help you. No need to waste brain cycles.
Safety resides inside the way we’ve always done it. Tried and true. No risk. Start in the mail room.
But safety and stagnation often look the same. The world moves forward, with or without you. New people. New technologies. New data. New methods. New culture.
We cling to past lessons and successes like a life raft, but sometimes, the raft is what’s keeping us from swimming. We might need to swim some more.
Occasionally, probably not every day, just ask yourself:
• Is this still the best way?
• What are we afraid of losing?
• What happens if we keep doing it this way?
Because the most dangerous thing isn’t change.
It’s refusing to.
