RE: The ESCAPE/WITHDRAWAL Character
Great share Arvydas - I am familiar with this character and pattern. It's been a point I've especially challenged myself within over the last year.
An example is within networking my networks - where I make the effort to keep the channels open.
I've recognized that many people have this point within them to some degree or another (escape/withdraw)...and ironically that is what I used as an excuse/justification to remain in the pattern. Meaning: blame/justify/judge "others" behavior" as to why things wouldn't evolve/develop.
So - the change is this: making the effort....the push for engagement where I would otherwise go into retreat and or just not bother with following up.
I like the word play: "follow through"
It's like a recognition of the point and grabbing the ball and running with it and making/taking my best shot - there's a natural follow through in the motion when and as I let go and commit myself within the action and motion
Exactly.... and for me especially realizing that it's ok to miss the shot once in a while. a learning curve
Reminds me of the story of Michael Jordan - back when he was playing for the tar heels - before he really created himself - Long story short - He gave himself permission to take the big shots.
