Imagine suddenly losing your job. Is it the collapse of everything?
You were a CEO (COO, partner, board member, co-owner), and now you're not.
The key here is the word "suddenly." The situation caught you off guard.
Why?
You didn't want to see reality as it is.
Usually, an honest analysis reveals that signals were there long ago.
But false beliefs, like a sieve, didn't let them into your consciousness.
Your familiar world was already falling apart at the seams. Yet, you cranked up the volume in your headphones. Meanwhile, a vague background alarm was growing.
Any changes happen non-linearly. Ernest Hemingway described it accurately: "How did you go bankrupt?" Bill asked. "Two ways" Mike replied, "gradually at first. Then suddenly."
Most likely, something similar has happened to you many times before. You're like an actor touring with one play.
This is good news because the solution will be universal. Adjusting the small picture of the world will cascade into the big one. Like with optical illusions, you can't unsee what's revealed.
What needs to be done for this?
Bring false assumptions to the surface, name and challenge them.
Jellyfish are invisible in the sea, but vanish without trace in sunlight.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
