The groundhog is the easy problem. The hard one is letting go of what still works — a three-question practice to figure out what to let go and what to keep.
Great job, Mic, I think this is one of the best you’ve ever done. Simple, clear, understandable, and devoid of of the corporate jargon you have often used, which loses me. I simply don’t speak that language. Metaphors that contain timeless truths and are widely applicable are vastly more meaningful than anything we say that is situation specific, particularly if it’s said in lingo that developed a short while ago and will be forgotten just as soon. Jesus is probably the best known and most read exemplar of this. Almost everything he taught was in the form of a story. Two millennia later, the stories he told are still being discussed and applied by people all over the world. There are many more examples, of course. The power of story, of myth, was apparently somehow embedded in our DNA.
thank you so much for reading my words, and your feedback. I am taking it to heart and listening deeply - this struck me particularly "Metaphors that contain timeless truths and are widely applicable are vastly more meaningful than anything we say that is situation specific" Thanks again
