What became so apparent to me while reading this article this morning was that capitalism and patriarchal ideals created much of the patterning we in the Western world aspire to.
Yes, we have choices, esp once we can see those choices and choose differently.
But the underlying systems that are the foundation of modern society will continue on. I'm hoping and dreading that the political atmosphere we have today globally will bring a collapse of those old structures, but at 57 I'm not very hopeful that I'll see in my life time the new paradigm flourish.
Thank you so much for sharing your insights and wisdom. You are shining a brilliant message into the collective conscience and helping so many awaken to new and exciting possibilities.
I have had a problem where I spend way too much time reading my email newsletters. I wanted to keep tabs on writing advice and political content, and then I added more and more, and then topics of less necessity to me, like tech news and retro videogames, and I just kept adding more and more and more, and now I'm at a point where I can spend hours a day just reading my email newsletters, and I hate that. I hate wasting whole days on my newsletters, and most of them just make me mad anyway. Inspired by you, I'm going through every newsletter of mine (I count 35 thus far), and asking hard questions about them. Do I drop everything to read it the moment I see a new installment in my feed, or do I usually skip them? Do I even remember subscribing to them in the first place? Are they helpful to what I'm trying to build? Are they covering similar topics to other newsletters that I'm reading? If they aren't helping me, then in the bin they go.
Yes to this, but: Life is short, but it's also long. Make sure the decisions you make are ones you can live with should you happen to live to 100. Some decisions we NEVER recover from and can change the trajectory of our life in the most regretful ways. So, yes to the urgency in your heart, but be wise as well. A long-haul burden from shortsighted decisions (cuz life is short, throw caution to the wind and jump off that cliff with no safety harness!) could leave you in utter misery that you may end up wishing to exit sooner.
Spot on and great work for helping someone to become their most incredible version of themselves. Vitality is something we all have the seed for, we just need to lean into it.
I hope everyone sees and reads this article and chooses a new path. We need self-love before we can do anything else, and it's so buried in the expectations of a behaviorist society that it's hard to see our gifts and our opportunity here.
This really struck a chord Darshak.

Here’s where you find out what you thought you wanted for so long, you really don’t like.
Lots of truth here
