People spend endless amounts of time and money to understand things. Often, finding answers leads to stagnation because of one simple universal truth: Change is the one and only constant in the universe.

Nothing, and I mean nothing at all, is static. Everything changes. Sometimes change occurs so quickly that you blink and it’s done. Other times, change is so glacially slow that no matter how hard you look at it, you can’t see it. Yet it is, change happens, and it’s inevitable.

Person, place, or thing, it will change. That is the truest truth of the universe. That means that the answers change. And that can be infuriating.

When I was a kid, I was taught that this solar system had 9 planets. Now, Pluto is no longer deemed to be a planet. Why? Because science changed, new things about the function of our solar system were discovered, and the classification of planets shifted with it.

This is a big, impersonal example. Yet I can tell you now that who you were at age 5 is not who you are now. That’s because you’ve changed on every possible front, both tangible and intangible. Who you are mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically is always in flux.
