-The Times has successfully adapted to date, but the future remains uncertain- because of course. Whether or not it will withstand the next series of external shocks remains to be seen.-The ways in which we differentiate and integrate, the direction our paths take over times, owes itself to a combination of our rugged core values and our willingness and ability to apply them flexibly. Put all of..

-They could have decided to ignore the static, writing it off as a mysterious nuisance. They could have also refused to take their findings to a researcher whose cosmological view challenged their own. If they had done this, we might still be deaf to our universe's instructive murmuring. -But, the two researchers adhered to their shared core value of the scientific method, choosing to adapt thei..

-"The back injury in 2013 gave me the opportunity to look at the picture on a broader scale rather than just think I need to get my back straight and then I'll be fine again and we'll go back to status quo... Everything keeps evolving and changing. I've always been quite open about it.-Despite the fact that the noise did not fall under the scope of their original investigations, and even though ..

-The portability of core values means that you can practice them in nearly all circumstances. Thus, they become a source of stability throughout change, forging the rugged boundaries in which your fluid sense of self can flow and evolve.-Regardless of what you are faced with or what you are feeling, you can lean on your core values for support and to guide your next steps.

-If you rigidly dig in, hoping to stay the same and trying to insulate yourself from change, then you run the risk of falling apart. But if you are fluid without any boundaries of direction, then it can become quite confusing as to who you even are.-It's about confronting and adapting to change and disorder without being so transformed by it that you no longer recognize yourself.

-He attributes the persistence that got him to where he is today in Hollywood to the discipline he learned as a football player.-"It's kind of weird because I look at entertainment, and my football career, the ups and downs, the ins and outs to how hard it was, it really prepared me for entertainment in that I could take rejection, I could go to an audition and realize that it wasn't about me," ..

-The Buddha continues, "And if, when I was asked by him, 'Is there no self?' I had answered, 'There is no self,' the wanderer Vacchagotta, already confused, would have fallen into even greater confusion, thinking, 'It seems that the self I formerly had does not exist now.'"-The Buddha's enlightened, deeply true, non-dual self is strikingly similar to Jane Loevinger's highest stage of ego develop..

-The best athletes find ways of working in concert with their surroundings, adapting themselves and their performances. They, too, are both independent and interdependent.-At present, however, I am not reliant on sporting success to validate my identity. Whether or not I make a lift has much less bearing on my self-worth.-In all of these instances, we are the same as we used to be but also unequ..

-"Across our many studies, we find that independent and interdependent selves are equally thoughtful, emotional, and active, but often have subtly different thoughts, feelings, and actions in response to the same situations," write Markus and Conner in Clash!.-With awareness that multiple lenses exist, we can begin to see the world in multiple ways. We can ask ourselves that lens we are looking ..

-In the long term, the meaning I created apart from my sport made me like my sport more because it suddenly enriched my life rather than limiting it.-It seems that all true things must change and only that which changes remains true." He seems to be taking Jung's advice to heart; within it lies wisdom for all of us.
