While we have to acknowledge that our agency is limited, especially when it comes to external circumstances, one can argue that we almost always have agency over our internal posture - the way we interpret and react to external circumstances. This can give us a sense of agency even in messy situations and might help us to see the journey as the goal - allowing us to stay open and curious in the moment.
Best! I resonate with all of this, thanks for sharing this message so eloquently. I’m off to run my own strategy sesh this week, (a “ radical reboot”), really appreciate the timely reminder re- the divine pinball game.
Jonathan, are you still in Lisbon? That's where I live! I would love to buy you a pastel de nata and tell you how much Sparketypes and your other work have helped me. (I can also answer questions about Lisbon if you have any.) 🙏

Agreed. End of that day, our inner weather is about the only thing we have genuine, long-term agency over. Even though we often don't exercise it.

I love this. Thank you
So glad it resonated, Cali.
