The only thing which endures is change. The instinct to adapt in the now, without losing continuity, while maintaining our basic nature.
Trait 57 < Trait 32 > Trait 50
Purpose fulfilled through Bonding
This Trait is part of the Strength of Ambition. It is about Transformation and a Design of Being Driven, linking the Survival Instinct (Trait 32) to Drive & Stamina (Trait 54). Trait 32 is part of the Tribal (Ego) Circuit with the keynote of support.
Awareness through Trait 32 is focused on constant evaluation as an instinctive recognition of what can and cannot be transformed. An underlying fear of failure can put the brakes on runaway ambition. Trait 32's ability to adapt, yet maintain its true nature, is the Survival Instinct's contribution to the material continuity of the Tribe. This is part of our contribution as well. A great deal rests on what is recognized and valued, and thereby encouraged and retained by the Tribe. One of our gifts is recognizing who has the skills or education to move up in the world; and then, using our influence, to bring them to the attention of those in positions of authority.
This is the Trait of prolonged indecision. We are apt to find ourselves agonizing over how to maintain a balance between what is working successfully (conservatism), and opening ourselves or an organization up to the unknown risks (fear of failure) that accompany transformation and change. Change is inevitable, however, and when it becomes part of the equation for life, growth is optimized. By relying on our Authority for timing, and staying closely attuned to our own instincts, our wisdom will emerge over time as ways to keep society from repeating what does not work, while also embracing what has lasting value. Without Trait 54, Trait 32 senses its lack of a consistent source of fuel or drive or ambition to succeed.
Elevation: A life sustaining respect and attention to all aspects of a process. The potential to develop the instinct through detailed attention to a process.
Challenge: The uncontrollable urge to bypass essentials which inevitably leads to the disruption of continuity. The fear of lack of potential, and the corresponding lack of attention.
