X to Y to Z
Here are two attitudes towards change inspired by Brad Stulberg’s book Master of Change.
X (stability) > Y (chaos / uncertainty) > X (stability): In the face of uncertainty, you seek to revert back to what is familiar.
X (stability) > Y (chaos / uncertainty) > Z (stability): In the face of uncertainty, you seek to adapt and evolve.
When the ground is shifting beneath you, you do not have to run back.
You have the option to leverage the moment to move forward.
