So, what’s your personal Shays’ Rebellion? Maybe it’s a project that’s stalled because you’re trying to operate with no clear rules. Or a relationship where everyone’s acting independently, leaving the “union” of your shared goals in tatters. The lesson is clear: when the old methods literally start crumbling, it’s time to call a convention.
You don’t need powdered wigs or a quill pen—just a willingness to admit that the current system isn’t working. Pause, gather your delegates (even if it’s just you and a journal), and write a better constitution for your week. Because every great fix starts with one honest, rebellious moment of “this has to change.”
