I’ve always wanted to do everything.
I’m the guy who watches a documentary on riding trains through Sri Lanka and immediately declares: ‘I’m doing this.’
My mum always teased me for immediately wanting the things I resonate with (she helps ground me).
I’ve seen and done a lot.
But I’ve also been frequently weighed down by the sense of obligation attached to wanting many things.
You inevitably invite many ‘shoulds’ into your life when you want a lot.
I want to write and run retreats and do podcasts and record videos and lead workshops and write many books and novels and….
Etc etc.
Because I create so many possible avenues, obligations creep in.
Today, I remind myself to stop doing this. Often.
Focus relentlessly on the small handful of things that benefit most from your attention.
For me, it’s writing.
I’m driven by helping as many people as possible.
That’s my big why. Reaching more people. Writing enables this.
So, running workshops sounds great, but I only get to reach 7 people that way.
