Hi Coach, thanks for checking in. You know I have that Stockdale Paradox memorized now - and have worked it into lessons to my S11 - namely, the importance of being honest with oneself about the facts of our reality - I wasn't raised that way - as children we were too often encouraged to lie and hide our own reality - especially when bouncing back and forth between my parents' homes after they divorced...it made it easy to become a story teller - but it interfered a lot with my ability to be honest with myself in the way I am now...it used to frighten me to be too honest with myself - even though I had no trouble being honest to the point of being too blunt with others....
