A person might have a great job, a nice house, and a great group of friends. They might feel they have everything they need, and so, they just settle, stop moving and pushing themselves. After all, their life seems to be going fine. You might have seen this with friends or acquaintances. This is fine for a time; but the problem is, when people stop moving or pushing themselves, the world keeps spinning. Time moves forward. Staying in the same place and not seeking self-improvement has the exact same effect as moving backwards.
We’re living in a period of technological and social advancement never before seen. Technology has moved and developed more over the past one hundred years than it had in the previous thousand. With this speed of advancement, it’s easy to fall behind. Even if a person’s life seems to be going well now, and they don’t seek improvement, several years down the line, they may find that their lack of advancement and development in important skills may cause big problems in their lives. A person today who is comfortable in a job may be replaced by a machine tomorrow. Many people might soon find themselves out of a job.
Basically, no matter how hard we try, it’s impossible to predict how things will change over the next few years. We don’t know what skills will or won’t be needed. Nor do we know how our lives may change over the next few years. Something as simple as a new piece of technology can have an incredible impact on our lives. Because of this, you need to be ready to adapt and not fall into the trap of brief contentment.
A careful equation of things in your life and your skills is extremely useful. Pick one of your skills or an area of your life, and then critically evaluate it. Ask yourself how useful it is going to remain and how it is going to adapt to changing circumstances. After reviewing your skills and knowledge you’ll be able to decide which should be abandoned and which should be improved. It’s like throwing away old tools and devices that don’t work or are no longer useful, and replacing them with new better ones.
