So our world is quite chaotic these days.

Not to mention there’s an awful lot of doom, gloom, and negativity being thrown around.

I often ask myself why this is happening and what is causing this.

Through a lot of reading, researching, and reflecting I‘ve come to the conclusion that the reason things are in such disarray right now is that people are trying to use past solutions to fix modern problems and using an old way of thinking.

With everything happening in the world I feel this message is incredibly relevant, important and timely.

Day in and day out I remind myself that the old way of thinking doesn’t necessarily get us anywhere.

In fact, in this fast-paced 2018 world it doesn’t even apply anymore.

Yet nearly everyone is still trying to apply our old way of thinking, then when it doesn’t work they feel frustrated, exhausted, confused, and frankly defeated.

Let me share with you some examples that might help you understand this mindset.

1. Emails Vs. Telegrams
