18. Cancel Autopilot to Allow Growth
Cancel autopilot to anticipate, expect, and allow growth. When we know people well, we cast their role in our own life movie and expect them to show up today as the same person we knew yesterday. We expect to see the same behaviors, beliefs, personalities, and values we’ve always held as truth. When we live on autopilot, we believe we know how people will behave because we subconsciously project what we expect. And yet, people are always shifting, growing, and changing. Core values may remain consistent, but anyone can change with new information and motivation. Can we honor and hold the space for people to learn and evolve? All it takes is
checking in from time to time to see if a person is where you last left them or if they’re in a different place now. Rinse and repeat.
