What’s Your Blue Sky? A Metaphor for Purpose and Progress
Aug 11, 2025
In Episode 4 of the Engaged By Design Podcast, Jarred Truschke shares a metaphor that lingers: the idea of your “blue sky.”
No matter how many clouds or how much smoke fills the air, the sky above is still blue. In the same way, your true purpose—your identity, values, and long-term vision—remains constant, even when life feels foggy or uncertain.
This metaphor pairs beautifully with the MACRO Leadership principle of Prioritize. When leaders and learners are clear on what matters most, they can stay oriented, even in chaotic or challenging times.
Jarred's MyPurpose journal asks users to reflect daily on their core values and their blue sky vision. It’s a grounding exercise that connects short-term action to long-term meaning. And in a world full of distractions and detours, that clarity is a powerful advantage.
💙 What’s your blue sky? When’s the last time you looked up?
