Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There’s a quality — real courage, say, or quiet generosity — that I admire deeply but have no idea how to actually grow in myself, and I want to find a real person who built it under pressure and trace how they did it, because right now it just feels like an abstract wish.
- There’s a conversation I know I need to have
- I keep wishing I were a more patient, more generous person, like it’s a trait I’m just missing
- I have abstract ideas about the kind of person I want to be, but in a hard moment I freeze because I don’t actually know what that looks like in practice
- There’s a thing I want to say or ask for, but I can’t make myself do it without knowing how they’ll take it first
