Admission: I’m a thread puller. It might be on a button or shirt, but there’s a loose thread begging me to pull it; usually resulting in an open seam or a missing button. I just can’t help myself.
I’m the same way with thoughts and ideas. I rarely make a decision and go with my gut—but I pull the threads of the notion until the “seam” appears and I gain a better understanding.
As I transition into my next chapter, I seem to be pulling a lot of different threads, testing ideas, following thoughts, and inspecting observations. Thus far, I have a lot of loose threads and I seem to be losing my buttons.
How do you work through your challenges?
