Take some time out of your busy life and watch an old popular movie of your choice. It may feel like stepping into a different world altogether. Some parts may look strange, even absurd. A few moments you may struggle to relate to.
But remember, the same movie was once loved by millions. For them, it was not just entertainment—it was a mirror of their lives, a story that resonated perfectly.
So, what has changed? How does a blockbuster that once defined an era now feel irrelevant? Why do we lose interest?
The answer is simple: time has changed.
With time, everything shifts. Which is why, when we say:
- “When we were young, we used to…”
- “When I first started working…”
- “In our organisation, we have a tradition of…”
We unknowingly set ourselves on the path of irrelevance.
To stay relevant, we must carry our values and identity forward, but also keep our eyes on the horizon. True relevance comes from staying present while looking ahead.
What are you holding onto that was once powerful, but may now be quietly pulling you away from the present?
