I’m afraid I have to diagnose you with a rather acute case.
We’ve seen your behaviour over the last few weeks.
Is there something wrong with you?
Your thoughts jolt you from sleep.
You forget to eat.
Your friends are beginning to worry about you.
Others ridicule you.
That can’t be good, can it?
Unpleasant criticism is getting regular.
You are not living a ‘balanced’ life like we are.
You’re missing out.
Your work has blended into life.
Your life is work.
Are you ok?
…
True, my life is work. But the work is enlivening.
And being alive means that I bring more to the important things.
I am more in tune. No longer a zombie.
The present moment is more welcoming.
I have energy that ripples from my focal point.
I am ok with criticism because I know that the work that matters is work that polarises.
