Luke 4:42-43
And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them; but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose.”

Homily:

Alone time brings clarity.

Comfort zones are not the purpose.

Our reach should grow.

What you have to give is not bound by space, especially in the digital age.

What God has put in you to share, needs you. Please share.

Adaptability

I came across a flip chart today, that reminded me about something from physics.

Elasticity = Stress/Strain

Where,

  • Elasticity is the ability of a material to resume its normal shape after being stretched or compressed.
  • Stress is “force per unit area”.
  • Strain is “deformation of a solid due to stress”.

In humans, elasticity is basically adaptability. It has made me understand, that it is not higher stress that makes us snap, but higher strain.

Which is why keeping our body and mind fit, is crucial in a high intensity environment.

If strain remains constant, even with an increase in stress, adaptability actually improves.

If stress remains constant, any increase in strain will reduce adaptability.

Zero stress leads to zero adaptability.

Zero stress will kill you.

Zero strain leads to undefined adaptability.

Zero strain is unpredictable.

I am still exploring the stress-strain curve and I will one day share my thoughts on this exciting phenomenon.
