Purpose as a Reset

When I fill every available hour, the work and people already depending on me receive less attention. N minus 1 is my reminder to question the next commitment.

Nothing dramatic had happened that day. I was simply exhausted, and I had to ask why I kept treating that as proof of commitment.

The business, the show and the travel kept me busy. I had to ask how the life I was living had become so distant from the one I wanted.

I came home from a business trip and took another call. When my wife asked me to leave the room, I felt hurt before I looked at my own part in it.

I was proud of how much I could carry. Eventually I had to ask which commitments deserved the effort and which were there because I had stopped questioning them.
