Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I want my child to carry a solid sense of who they are even when I’m not there to remind them
- My days feel small and self-enclosed, all about me and my own little concerns, and the times I’ve felt most lifted out of myself were when I was caught up in something bigger than me
- I’ve had a handful of moments where I felt completely alive and lifted out of myself, and they’ve always seemed like luck
- In those rare lit-up moments I suddenly see exactly what matters and what I should change
- My most alive moments have come when I was so deep into something that I lost track of time and forgot myself entirely
