We humans, as evolutionary beings have hidden evolutionary
energy within. We need to tap this energy that is manifested in many different
forms. Super computers which find its applications in many different areas, run
at a faster speed in the order of nanoseconds. The speed of the neurons in the
brain is in the order of milliseconds and not as fast as computer. But humans
are more powerful than computers and that power comes from our capability to adapt.
This adaptation capability of the humans is one such form of the human
evolutionary energy.
Adaptation: When there is a change that happens in our
external or internal situations and the situations prevail continuously for a
longer period of time, we tend to adapt to the new situation especially when
there is no other option is provided to us. We slowly start to adapt to this
new situation irrespective of whether the situation is good or bad to us. For example,
our situations change when we start a new job and when the situation prevails
for a long duration, we start to adapt automatically.
Our history:
Simply by looking back at past experiences, one can see how the adaption plays
a crucial role in shaping up his life. The level of adaptation varies from person
to person and with their experiences. For example, consider the scenarios like
a child learning a new language, jetlag due to long flight, moving to a new
job, getting used to the back pain or knee pain or any chronic ailments, etc.
In all the above scenarios, we adapt to the newly developed situations.
Law of self helplessness: There is a trend which I observed with the
clients who came to me for therapy programs. Most of these clients suffer from
certain chronic ailments like asthma, back pain, high blood pressure etc. Most of them tried to find many different
ways to come out their unbalanced chronic state and when the methods did not
yield the desirable result, they slowly started to accept the unbalanced state.
This is a kind of adaptation that does not work in our favour and such negative
development is called self helplessness.
To work in our
favour: We are empowered to create a new situation. Consciously, one can
define a new situation that works in his favour. Of course, there are
challenges with the newly developed situation. With little perseverance, one
can crossover his comfort zone and explore the new possibilities defined by the
new situation. With time, the adaption power derived from our evolutionary
energy helps us in moving towards our life goals. Such is the power of
adaption, a form of evolutionary energy.
So, tap the evolutionary energy within us and tune in to the
power of adaption from “self helplessness” to “self helpfulness” to achieve our goals.
