I first heard and wrote about this idea a year ago and have found myself repeating it many times since – both for the benefit of others and as reminders to self.
It is tempting to find ourselves over-reacting when faced with change. Change often heightens our insecurities and those insecurities often have us reaching for security and self-preservation.
These instincts are simultaneously understandable and counter productive. Change means navigating muddy waters and it just isn’t a good idea to fish in muddy waters
It is best to summon our reserves of patience and wait for things to play out.
Don’t fish in muddy waters.
