The economy keeps changing—am I falling behind for good?

Say what you mean by 'falling behind.' Is it your income? Your job security? The fear that you don't know what you don't know? Name it plainly, or you will spend your energy fighting a fog instead of a fact. Here is the truth: the pace of change is not yours to command. It never was. What is yours is your response—what you learn, what you build, what you do with the next hour. Most people spend that hour worrying about the economy instead of acting inside it. You did not choose how fast the world moves. You do choose whether you spend today reacting to that speed or building something solid within it. Only one of those choices is in your power.
