What is your definition of compassion for others?

Do you have:
.. the quiet courage to sit with your own discomfort / pain, not to fix or judge it, but to honour it like you would do for a dear friend?

.... do you choose kindness over criticism and acceptance over shame or guilt?

It's not fair that you continually extend your energy on others, without honouring compassion for yourself.

What's the point of the expenditure of your energy and focus?

When you are 95 years old and look back to right now, will you smile?

Work and life is dynamic. And while you are doing 'all the things' to provide food and shelter for your chosen set of people, notice and name your sense of purpose and how it supports or distracts from what matters most. (aka, that means that you will also need to have clarity of your core values.)

Ah, it's a bit of a rabbit trail that will provide immense clarity of your current and future decisions and choices.

What you focus on, grows.  What you give energy to, grows.

If you matter to you - do the personal work for your own leadership while you are out there saving the world.

Lead yourself well.

Notice the meh / mundane days.
What's missing?

It is meaning or purpose?
Meaningful connection?
Absence of your favourite contributions, skills, or talents?
A gap of knowing-doing?
Unclear core values or aspirations?
Weariness of not being seen or heard authentically?
Boredom?
Or.... what else?

Is the pain of the unknown less than the pain of the known?
Is the risk too much?
Are there possibilities between same-old and meaningful life/work?

This being human thing is NOT nothing. Connection and 'better together' is a basic, essential universal need, which has been woven into the tapestry since the beginning of time.

Somewhere in the industrial and information, culture shifted the belief and practise of a superior view of self-made, independance. Belief that one should be able to succeed and/or achieve mastery without a village of support, became the expectation.

Folks, that's not working.

Humans survive and thrive when the right team of people are safe enough together than there is authentic empowerment of interdependent strengths moving forward together.

Name the people of your team or village. Say their names.

Just make sure there is a values alignment.
