Adaptation

One of humanity's innate and defining attributes is the ability to adapt to any situation. The unexpected is meant to be overcome for us to progress.  There is always a chance to adapt if you think outside the box.

Adaptation is key in survival as the physics of the world does not have our best intentions in mind. If we freeze in the face of the unexpected or impossible we will soon find our chances cut short. The world is a harsh place because of the apathy of those less than human.

Survival is not humanity's purpose nor does it define us, once we get past the obstacles placed in our way we are meant to create something new. When we have our vision in mind of what we want to create but the means isn't clear that's when adaptation becomes key. In my own art I learn new things every day. For example I am working on an advertisement that requires knowledge of four different programs, before starting I only had experience with two of the four. I adapted because I needed the means to create.

Adaptation is hard work but has wonderful rewards when we experience our visions coming to life. We all have a decision to make, to be less than our potential as hunter/gatherers or to create something new with our humanity. The choice seems obvious but only a few will ever make the cut.
