Hi reader,

Sometimes life feels like Groundhog’s Day

The flotsam of the constant chores

The jetsam of the distant goals

The droll of the day

What helps me is thinking about the snail

Rather than the circle

It being a slow flow

Not a rerun ♻️

Long ago, my mentors told me why we feel frustrated

We learn all this stuff, go through all this experience

And then end up looking at the same place, the same problems

The same spot

But we’re not the person we were before

And while it may look like the same spot

We’re actually parallel to where we were before

Like you drawing in a round motion

And gradually turning in the line tighter and tighter towards the center

Moving in infinite motion

Like the snail shell 🐚

🚨 Want to become famous(er), grab more customers, and 100X your reach?

Stop burning budget on ads and hoping for clicks. Podcast listeners lean in, hang on every word, and buy from guests who deliver real value. But appearing on dozens of incredible podcasts overnight as a guest has been impossible to all but the most famous.

This perspective shift gives us two gifts

We recognize every situation is not the same

The outside flow of time

The gratitude for another day

And we recognize that we are not the same

The inside growth of knowledge

The clarity of our maturing

Our snail experience reminds us that we are always learning

Always evolving

No matter how slow the pace 🐌
