10. STAY AHEAD

November 12, 2024

In 2021, I surprised myself and summoned ways to self-soothe. I wrote about flipping the script and dreaming of what could be. I thought about the purpose of stories. I let go (a bit). I rewatched Quantum Leap. And then, I remembered Who Moved My Cheese? A book that stood out to me for many reasons. What I didn’t mention before is that the book’s success reinforced its message to me. I knew firsthand how popular it was because I handled the reprints. Hearing how it defied odds made me wonder if that’s the way to thrive—to stay ahead of the curve.

I was glad to see it placed prominently at Barnes & Noble with the description: Exploring a simple way to take the fear and anxiety out of managing the future.
