Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep trying to dream up my purpose from scratch, like I have to invent it
- I want my child to carry a solid sense of who they are even when I’m not there to remind them
- I’m grinding through something genuinely hard and my motivation keeps collapsing because the reason I’m doing it has gone vague and weightless
- I keep setting goals I think I’m supposed to want, and the moment they get hard I just quit
- When I tell my own stories I breeze right past the parts that light me up because they feel ordinary to me
