“What an intriguing introduction we had to each other! Is that common for you? I can’t remember too many times when a relative stranger knew so much about me and showed such genuine concern the way you did. I must say I was struck by our short conversation.”

“Can I tell you quickly what I thought about today, reflecting on some of the things we talked about yesterday?

1. You might be a Jedi (the highest office one can assume in life, in the Star Wars metaphor). You seem to know what is important and what to do about it.

2. What happened to all those thoughtful and seemingly powerful excuses I have that justify so much of my paralysis? By the time we were done I felt a good deal of peace about entering this next unknown endeavor of my life and work.

That is an amazing tool – the ability to transfer hidden beliefs to the forefront of the battle between action and inaction. Thanks again for the time and the great conversation.”
