The topics of this episode are very challenging to face. I recognize that and strive to be sensitive, knowing that many of my listeners are working through difficult patches in their lives as we speak.
Unlike the previous episodes’ models, the Unwelcome model signals that the efforts you have been putting in are not cutting it for someone or some organization. This dissatisfaction may or may not be complementary to your feelings, but often comes as a surprise and leaves you forced to face a new beginning immediately. The next day you wake up and your world is different.
By contrast, you may come to realize that an Unwelcome model may be in your future, and you reclaim the narrative through the Survival model. You relinquish your stake prior to being told to do so. And, barring severance or hurt feelings, the result is exactly the same (waking up with nothing to do the next day) but you may find that this choice gives you confidence and energy to move ahead more gracefully.
Where are your exposure points? Are you comfortable knowing that your very existence is tenuous at best?
