While not to the same degree, I understand your experience and share the acceptance of my dark brooding seas beneath the surface of civility.
I recently hit 40 and this title seemed like a perfect embrace of what lies next. How do I turn my 40 years of experience into my next evolution?
Since the morning after running my first loop. I have been in deep reflection about my past, less on the successes and more on the mistakes and failures that I have carried with me. There has been a deep acceptance that those mistakes were the best that I did at the time.
I thought about my time selling financial products during the financial crises and how bad I was cold calling on the phone. I could take a tough call, but I wasn’t converting them into clients.
I now see how I would easily handle the calls and objections. But back then I didn’t know.
I can take that understanding with me into selling my own product and those conversations.
Your Oak metaphor is appropriate. I do feel deeply rooted and not easily moved while feeling ready to take off towards my life.
