This document discusses how to thrive in a changing world by becoming more adaptable. It emphasizes the importance of introspection to identify limiting beliefs and behaviors holding one back. The key is practicing adaptability by experimenting with behaviors that challenge resistance. A process is outlined involving defining a "One Big Thing", examining unconscious patterns, and testing new behaviors through an integration protocol with accountability and community support. The goal is developing a flexible mindset able to see through chaos to opportunities by having vision, courage, understanding of oneself and adaptability to outside factors.

External sources shape our sense of self and
understanding of the world.

We define who we are, and not other people,
our relationships or our environment

14. I am committed to getting better at
trusting and expressing myself (what I
know, feel, think, say, do and need).
I will be more present, stop second
guessing myself, feel free, find my tribe
and feel connected.
Others will experience the authentic
Stephen, get to know me better and feel
more connection with me.

Resistance
I am committed to getting better at
trusting myself (what I know, feel, think,
say, do) and expressing myself and my
needs openly.
I assume I won’t be accepted and will be ostracised.
I believe I should maintain relationships at all cost, or I
will end up alone.
I believe your origins define your standing & potential
and if you rise above them, you will be exposed.
I assume if I show myself, people will hurt me.
I believe If instigate negative emotions
in others it will generate conflict.
