To perform (and to live) is to exist in a state of constant flux.

This has certain repercussions:

Change—Brings newness. Do not hold on to the present moment; let it go so you can catch the next.

Unpredictability—Means continual surprises. Be prepared to improvise, all part of the general messiness of life.

Complexity—If your task has a high degree of complexity, simplify, reduce it to its basic elements.

Growth—In a dynamic world, there are only three states of being—grow, stay the same, or die. Growing seems to be the preferable option.

Volatility—Maintain your equilibrium. Continually make small adjustments to preserve your balance.

Mobility—To remain lean and agile, eliminate extra baggage. Take only what you need.

Timing—Pace and control your actions by underpinning them to a rhythmic pulse. Rhythm is the organizing principle which gives structure to time. It is the ultimate control mechanism.
