Your behavior reflects your actual purposes.

Yesterday's adaptations are today's routines.

What people resist is not change per se, but loss.

Worry not that your child listens to you; worry most that they watch you.

If you find what you do each day seems to have no link to any higher purpose, you probably want to rethink what you're doing.

The improvisational ability to lead adaptively relies on responding to the present situation rather than importing the past into the present and laying it on the current situation like an imperfect template.
