The human body—part tech marvel, part spiritual force—knows how to handle change. Some cells renew in weeks, others take decades; yet everything functions seamlessly as one cohesive system.
That’s exactly how we need to tackle today’s world—with a balance of speed and patience.
Think about it: we’re living in a world evolving faster than ever.
We must adapt to rapid innovations like AI while allowing time for their thoughtful integration into our institutions and daily lives.
We need to make space for diversity—of ideas, faith, lifestyles, and socioeconomic and political perspectives—to guide us forward as a multidimensional society. Amidst all this change, naturally, our ideas about success are changing too.
