Hello everyone,
I recently came back from a vacation in Croatia, where I experienced TMFL in a methaphorical way. It was the first time after reading the book that I really could 'feel' the difference between process and event.
Our goal was a cave somewhere high in a mountain at Paklenica National Park. At the entrance there was a young boy pointing at the pictures of the cave he absolutely wanted to visit. After his mom said that he had to be a little more patient because it was going to take a while and quite some effort, he began to scream. "I don't want to walk all the way up, I only want to visit the cave".
While I was climbing step by step the way up to the entrance of the cave and the sun was gettong hotter and hotter, I realized that this was TMFL pur sang.
Putting in effort is a prerequisite to enjoy the event, and the content of the glass is determined by the amount of steps that are taken. Most people won't even think of taking the first steps that are needed and keep walking in the herd at the base of the trees. The higher you get, the more beautiful the view.
I'm still reading unscripted and working on the mindshift that is needed to climb up the metaphorical mountain. It's not easy but nobody has claimed that it would be. Thanks MJ for being the road sign on the foot of the mountain.
My apologies for my English, I am Dutch.
Kind regards,
Fabio
