What would your honest answer be to this question:
Are you the author of your life?
I think we think are.
Color me skeptical.
I wasn’t for 60+ years.
I find most people aren’t, truly.
Cultural expectations hold the pen for most of us. Then we hit mid-life and wonder where it all went and why we don’t feel real.
I can’t say this week’s article fixes that but it might help you find a different pen.
Let me know what you think.
