Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep telling myself I’ll make real time for the people I love once I hit the next work milestone, and that milestone never stops moving
- I want my child to carry a solid sense of who they are even when I’m not there to remind them
- I catch myself just waiting for my turn to talk instead of really hearing the person in front of me
- I look up and realize whole friendships have quietly gone silent
- On paper I know exactly the kind of person I want to be and what I believe, but when I watch how I actually behaved this week there’s an embarrassing gap between the two, and the knowing clearly hasn’t closed it.
