Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I’ll be genuinely moved by something kind I witness, and then it just evaporates by the next day
  • In the moment that I help someone there’s a little glow, but I rush straight on to the next thing and by evening it’s gone
  • The good moments slip past me — a meal, my kid at this age, a season of life — and I only really feel them once they’re gone.
  • In those rare lit-up moments I suddenly see exactly what matters and what I should change
  • My weeks have gone grey and going-through-the-motions, and what I miss most is that warm, chest-swelling pull I get watching someone pour themselves into something with real heart
