One of 14 mindsets · Anticipation and uncertainty
The Storm Watcher
You are someone with a sharp and honest relationship with reality that most people lack the courage to develop.
Description
You see things clearly including the difficult things and you do not pretend otherwise. There is an honesty to how you engage with life that you find more and more rare in others. You are not someone who gets caught off guard because you have already considered most of what could go wrong. That awareness has protected you more than once and the people around you more than they probably realise.
The tension is that the same mind that protects you from disappointment can also protect you from possibility. When you are very good at spotting what could go wrong it becomes difficult to fully commit to what could go right. Over time the space between where you are and where you actually want to be slowly widens without you quite noticing it happening.
The clarity you have about what could go wrong is useful. The work is learning to apply that same sharp intelligence to what could go extraordinarily well and to develop the faith that you can deal with those hurdles you foresee as they come.
