Episode 26 - Change is Freakin' Inevitable

Jordan Drayer and Dalia Ramahi Season 2 Episode 26

You've heard it said: change is inevitable! New technology like NFTs and blockchain, new foods = let it equal a new, ever evolving you! Learn how to not fear change with this episode :D

Takeaways

  • Most people live in a bubble that is their comfort zone, making change or the idea of it difficult for some to accept.
  • When something is new, people focus on the cost of it without seeing the benefits.
  • Even the idea of change can trigger a negative reaction in people so it is important to pause and consider the impact of change on all parties, not just yourself. 
  • If your work environment is changing and you’re feeling stressed, take a pause and determine why it’s necessary, and forge on.
  • If you don’t know about something, educate yourself! You don’t have to adopt that new thing or that political mindset or religion, but at least you’ll know more about them.
  • Technology advances with every new generation, and as it changes, we need to learn to adapt to it or get left behind. 
  • Discipline and structure is good for any age, but you can change your daily routine to accommodate new goals like exercising every day.
  • Blockchain and NFTs are here to stay, and as artists we can work alongside them, just like musicians with the advent of recording. 
  • Be open to new things. Change can lead to new discoveries about yourself and your environment.
  • Even with food, go ahead and try it; it’ll be something new, and it could change your world.
  • Change is a constant. You can’t stop it or turn back time. 
  • You decide what to think so choose thoughts that serve your higher self and that propel you forward.  
  • You can’t control other people or the flow of time but you can control your thoughts and work on your mindset.
  • You decide what you think about something - don’t just go along with what your family, community, congregation, or political side are saying.
  • You can be green and growing or ripe and rotting.  Which would you rather be?
  • It’s alright to mourn the end of a career, but then look for other jobs (or evolve within that like Madonna).
  • Choose to believe everything happens for your and your benefit.
