I love how you think. How you presence your thinking. And how you express how you feel your way through and in your life. You are a beautiful stand for being.
Ian recently helped me see some competing commitments weren't in fact competing - just my own construction. Details aside: good son, good husband, and good self advocate are not in competition.
Reflecting on this at a macro level, I've been working with believing the world is safe, but taking actions and making plans as though it is not. Believing in the divine play, but not behaving from faith in it.
Why do you keep punching me in the gut so hard with your wisdom. It hurts like hell. I call my version of it competing values, and it's essentially the same thing. I find it easy to teach other people about it, and dam hard to embrace and evolve it in myself.
I wrote a NYT bestseller in my early thirties. A Grammy Pulse bestseller, as well, and the first music book plugged on MTV, which was still relatively new. If'n I'd known all that was occurring, it might have changed my life. Instead, I just accepted the royalty checks and focused on the chainsaws I was juggling. That was about 40 years ago; you were a newborn. Why does that seem so synchronistic?
You say that publishing your manuscript would be a competing commitment with wanting to be seen as someone who has it together - how come? I know you said you wrote it during a time when you didn't have it together, but even if you didn't, wouldn't the fact that you have it together now make people still see you as you are now?

How cool. It’s so powerful to see that. Thanks so much for sharing, Jesse 🤍

I don’t know. None of this is logical. 🤷🏻♀️
