Perspective: Permission to Evolve

Why Perspective Matters

The Problem

You built a system for your job 3 years ago. Now you hate that job, but you’re still feeding the same system. You feel trapped by your own efficiency.

This is Identity Lag. Your systems are optimizing for a version of you that no longer exists.

The Solution (Reframed)

Perspective is the “Why.” It’s the seasonal review that asks: “Do I still want this?”

Level 0: Discover Your Need

Signs You Need This Pillar

• You are productive, but unhappy.
• You operate on autopilot.
• You feel a disconnect between your calendar and your values.

What Permission Looks Like

Permission looks like deleting a project you’ve completed 80% of, because you realized you don’t want the result anymore.

Level 1: Foundational Practice

Goal

The Seasonal Review.

Core Skill: Re-Orientation

Once a season (every 3 months), ask:

1. What season am I in? (Winter/Rest? Spring/Growth?)
2. What do I need to stop doing?
3. What is my new “Primary Pillar”?

Success Metrics

• You feel aligned with your current actions.
• You can articulate your “Theme” for the season.
