Change is a complex process. It can be complicated, messy, and challenging. Think of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. In most cases, the progression of change does not follow a straight line, and this is particularly confusing. Whenever you move into an unknown future, you will backtrack a bit, so you might feel that you are moving one step forward and two steps backward simultaneously.
Metamorphosis is defined in the Oxford Language Dictionary as “a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means.”
Metamorphosis is the process of turning into, hopefully, something better. The transformation is from the inside out. I believe that the year 2024 will be a year when we can expect profound changes in a few areas of our lives, including technology and the environment. As we embark on this journey, how do we know what changes we should make?
- Is it possible that we will need a drastic metamorphosis to cope with changes triggered by evolving technologies?
- Once on the journey of change how can we stay focused?
The changes we make to meet the current challenges depend on where each of us is – we may have different journeys because we have different starting points. One solution will not work for everyone equally. Each of us will transform uniquely.
It is therefore crucial that we gain a thorough understanding of where we are beginning from and where we aim to be in the future. When we do this, we can start laying the groundwork for our journey to begin.
