On Tomorrow’s Skills

Our skills of planning/doing/achieving would serve us well in a predictable world; but in a complex, chaotic, uncertain world, we need capacities to negotiate uncertainty, not skills to fight with it. The most powerful tools we have are patience, to wait for changes, awareness, to notice change, acceptance, that life will unfold in a way that serves us, courage to be open to learning rather than judgment, resilience, to allow life’s uncertainty to teach us, and trust, in our power of creative expression.
