One of my new Marianisms is “you can have the snake skin but you can’t have the snake.”
People have built entire brands and businesses around ideas and terms I have coined, or suggestions I have made. People have formed relationships around having met me. People talk about me because I’m notorious. And I just say…
You can have the snake skin!
This is me being accountable to not overly identifying with anything I have said or done or made, or seeing myself through the eyes of people who are attached to a past version of me, and staying present with the forever now now now, always new, forever becoming.
