Retrospect Is A Good Sign

We’ve said it so many times, ‘hind sight is twenty twenty’.

And it’s true. That gap between what happened and our ability to see what was really going on is really powerful.

But being able to see clearly in retrospect should serve as a guide post and reminder that we do, in fact, have the capacity to see clearly. Even if it takes a few hours or a few weeks or years.

So maturity, in this way, is the process of bringing that time horizon closer and closer to the present moment. The process of not needing as much retrospect in order to gain clarity. And then maybe none at all.

If we can gain clarity in three hours, maybe next time it can be two hours and then one. And then eventually we can pull those higher levels of clarity into realtime.
