We Are / by Alexander Lyadov

Yesterday, I wrote my hundredth article in the “Time for Transform Yourself” category. There are other prolific themes too—“The Mechanics of Successful Partnerships,” “Energy Management,” and “Creativity in Negotiations.” But self-renewal is the one I return to most often.

Looking back, it’s clear this subject has fascinated me for a long time. In 2001, I sent an internal company email about my first skydiving experience. That same year, the newspaper Business used my words as a headline in an interview: “I collect new experiences.”

If you fed a few thousand of my published articles into an AI, I bet it would reach the same conclusion:

“Personal Metamorphosis at the Crossroads of Harmony and Chaos.”

And if you analyzed my newsletter subscribers and social media followers, you'd see a core audience that has remained surprisingly consistent over the years. That means a circle has formed—people who are just as intrigued by this topic as I am.

I don’t know about you, but that thought warms me. It’s one thing to feel alone in your search for answers. It’s one thing to feel alone in your search for answers. It’s another to know that there are plenty of people out there who are closer to you in the spirit of questioning than in form.

In a way, we’re a secret order, a closed club. But we don’t restrict entry—a person’s false beliefs block it. That’s how new members find their way here, naturally, through self-selection.

I'm sure you have no desire to rebuild the world or change people either. A lifetime isn’t enough to figure yourself out. But years from now, you'll be surprised to see how your transformation has affected those you've met.

Yours sincerely,

-Alexander
