Medley
Jason worried his life lacked a central essence that defined his identity, and it was preventing him from being his true authentic self.
Jason's therapist suggested he might consider that life is more of a medley than a single guitar solo.
Jason lay on the couch and considered the possibility Mr. Johnson might be right. Perhaps he was trying too hard to be the lead at everything, and it was okay to enjoy being part of the ensemble.
Then Jason glanced the photograph of Mr. Johnson's cover band on the wall behind him and decided he needed a new therapist.
