The Edge

"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space." ~Stephen Hunt

 

At Living Systems Tech we are on the edge of life. Attuned to what is emerging from within the vast field of global intelligence, we seek to assist you finding your edge.

 

This Week's Edge: RESILIENCE

 

Resilience is flexibility, being able to adapt, being able to respond to an impact, change, or threat. Resilience has much to do with how we experience change and how exactly do we move with the force of it? Specifically, resilience is adjusting in an empowered way that maintains continuity in essential life actions. For example, imagine a blow to someone’s personal life, a health crisis, losing a job, or a major relationship changing.

 

The ability to effectively respond has a lot to do with being able to accept and embrace change. When one stays curious and continues learning, this cultivates an ability to gather information that then creates options and pathways. When enacted, these pathways become the road of resilience. Keep your eyes open and be willing to do things differently than before, including finding alternative routes and methods, this makes you a resilient system.

 

Resilience does not imply going back to what was—some rigid form to bounce back to is an illusion.

 

If our choice of response determines resilience, how can we wisely navigate these times to evolve into a new form?

"Science is taking on a new aspect
which is neither purely physical,
nor purely biological.
It is becoming the study of organisms.
Biology is the study of the larger organisms;
whereas physics is the study
of the smaller organisms.
The concept of an organism includes
the concept of the
interaction of organisms.
There are also organisms of organisms."
