There Is Nothing Fixed

In a world that never stops moving, one truth quietly stands above the rest: there is nothing fixed.

This is a really powerful statement. It goes against our will to be stable and have everything under our control. But let’s look at it this way: if nothing is fixed, then everything is possible. Infinite opportunity.

We tend to have this fixed mindset because we are raised in a system that is fixed. Fixed paths. Schools teach us fixed answers. Society has fixed expectations of us. Study, work, and earn money. Even in architecture – my field – we often face fixed plans. It is difficult to break free from the constraints and come up with something new. But the world, or rather nature, does not work like that. Nature does not have a fixed system, it is always evolving and adapting. Trees bend in the wind and rivers break rocks. Civilizations change. People change.

Stability is comforting. I agree. But does it always meet our needs? When we are faced with a problem, we are all struggling to regain that sense of stability. And that wears us down. While we should try to really enjoy the journey.
“Nothing is permanent” doesn’t mean chaos, it’s more about freedom. It allows you to be curious. You can go ahead and build anything with this mindset without fear.

Rules can be rewritten. Identities can be rebuilt. So remember that nothing is permanent, so that’s why you can start again.
