Everytime I read the “Collapse Time to Target” I hear the Maytag Repairman Guy saying “Stay on target” in the first Star Wars.

This makes me think about how at the beginning of Star Wars Luke sees himself leaving the farm life and going to the Imperial Academy to be a pilot.

While he did become a lauded pilot by the end of the film, every other part of his vision of himself as a pilot was very different.

This had to do with the constraints, obstacles, and the community he chose to align with.

Now I want to run the whole movie plot thru your machine and look at how he kept those loops open, and it got loopier and loopier until the Death Star was space dust.

Pew! Pew!

I absolutely LOVE this analogy, Kato. Pew pew, indeed!

Closing the gap is NOT about setting long-term goals, putting on blinders, and grit and grinding your way there. As you indicated, closing the gap IS about heading in the direction your life is calling you toward with intention and integrity, remaining open to possibilities, practicing restraint when distractions arise, and taking responsibility for the journey.

Thank you, Kym. obviously, I am lacking in graphic design skills, but I am pleased with how this turned out, and it seems to be resonating with readers!
