While you sit with the question:

Here are three smaller questions to carry with you for the next week or so. They're not separate from the big one — they're three different ways into it. Let them sit. Let them circle in unexpected moments. Notice which one your body responds to.

• One. Is this life the right environment for me to bloom? Not, can I survive it. Not, can I optimize it. Can I actually grow here, as the person I am?
• Two. What about this life actually feeds me? When was the last time you did something purely because it nourished you — not because it was productive, not because it served someone else? Can you remember?
• Three. What in this life needs to change? Not what should change. Not what other people think should change. What does the deepest, quietest part of you already know?

 Tomorrow you'll hear from me again. For now, just let the questions sit.
