The latest thing

The next big thing is exciting, compelling. But by its very nature it will too soon be forgotten and replaced.

You furiously chase the leading edge trend. Yet before you can catch up, it begins to fade away.

You were born with the crucial ability to notice and to focus on what’s new. It’s a useful and enlightening thing to have.

But it’s not meant to be the basis of your identity. You are able to transcend all that comes and goes, holding steady to who you are no matter what.

Yes, you adjust very well to changing conditions. Yet the deepest part of you remains true to the unique person you’ve always been.

Participate in the best of what’s new, while continuing to treasure the time-tested values that have made it possible for you to do so. For without truth, meaning, and purpose, even the very latest, most amazing thing has no value.

— Ralph Marston
