Evolve or Stagnate

A few years ago, I started answering the question, “How ya doin’?” with something new. I used to say “swell” or “peachy” — old-timey answers meant to get a laugh. My buddy Kenny has a better one: “Fair to partly cloudy.”

But one day I surprised myself and said, “I’m evolving.”

And it stuck.

It stopped being a clever line and turned into a mindset — a reminder that we’re all works in progress. Nobody ever “arrives.” Life is movement. Change is baked in.

Sure, the “good old days” can be fun to visit, but you don’t want to build a house there. The past is quicksand — it won’t let you grow.

Evolution isn’t about chasing something “out there.” It’s not one more attempt to finally arrive. It’s about letting go, not loading up. It’s about appreciating that you’re alive and starting from where you are — not where you were.

You stagnate when you believe you’re not enough, or when you look outside yourself for identity or fulfillment. Growth begins when you realize you don’t know it all . . . and that you already have enough to take the next step.

Look closely — the word love is inside of evolve.

Love yourself enough to keep moving.

And if life feels like a revolving door, maybe it’s time to find the exit . . . and evolve.

All the best,

John
