Embrace Change with Curiosity (and DON’T follow that hat!) | four4soaring
In these troubling times many of us have experienced change or loss.
While the sting of those losses, some professional, too many personal and all deeply impactful, remains with us, we find ourselves facing the winds of change, off balance and chasing who we used to be. In the aftermath, many of us find ourselves wearing a new hat or potentially multiple hats in whatever new paradigm we land in. This is probably exciting for some and scary for others. My bet is the majority of us feel both ways!
That is normal, that is OK.
I want to take us on a bit of whimsy just for today, as I am hoping that it is helpful.
Curious George of book and cartoon fame has a best friend. This man is called “The Man in The Yellow Hat”
That hat and his yellow outfit are a distinctive part of his identity.
That’s why the theme of one of the Curious George books is called “Curious George in Follow that Hat” (Rey and Rey). Curious George and his friend, The Man, are hanging out in the park one day and The Man decides to take a nap.
Suddenly Curious George sees the Yellow Hat scurrying away seemingly on its own.
