Yep – you know me: always positive – no matter what )… But what do we do instead? Well, I reckon that if you pump the time you have on the planet with meaningful and useful goals, events, achievements, excitement, and assorted other positive, busy “content” (though I do so dislike that term:), then said time we have will leave two-dimensional linearity and inevitability and blossom into a multi-dimensional world of energy and vigor to give life meaning. So we don’t waste… time, energy and nerves on fighting the inevitable.

There’s no stopping – not even a slowing down of – the passing of time, no matter how much we might want it. So we adapt, we toughen up, we get our sea legs, and steer the ship as best we can to ride out the storm. Yes, of course we’d prefer calmer seas, without all the geopolitical thunderstorms we’ve zero control over. Crisis management – what’s that? It’s simply “management” now ). So, like, how did we manage it? Two main ways really: first – because we’re awesome, obviously second – we’re kinda getting used to thriving through ****storms! For let’s face it, they’re becoming the norm for us. Just as well – for who else is going to do much of the heavy-lifting in building the secure digital future we all deserve?!…Īnd all our hard work really has paid off: despite everything (though the official figures aren’t in just yet), we managed to maintain sales of our products practically at the same level as in 2021! Sure, we took hits in both North America and Europe, but those were made up for by boosts in all the other regions of the world. We’ve been working harder than ever before – not quite in panic-mode, but not far from it, and we’ve ended up stronger, nimbler and smarter for it. It made us adapt, quickly, to the new macro-reality we found ourselves in. Whatever next? I just hope there’s less roaring, and more… purring – and a lot less geopoliticism…Īll this geopolitics, though – it has had one interesting effect on us here at K: it’s forced us out of our comfort zone. So here we are – in 2023 I wonder, will it continue the trend of being “roaring” – but not quite like the Roaring Twenties of last century? You know – first covid and the lockdowns, then you-know-what. As per usual, having only just seen off the previous year in blog format, it’s February already!
