This article may be one of my favourite articles that I have read on substack. It’s a powerful reminder that the hardest work (whether it’s writing, building a business or just showing up in the corporate world) isn’t always about motivation. It’s about meaning. I write a lot about the traps of chasing status and success and this essay nails the cost of losing touch with why we started in the first place.
This is amazing as usual. That Bosker book rewired my brain. Love it so much. My next newsletter is very much in conversation with this one. It’s hard to stay connected with why you started doing this once goals start shifting
Awesome article. This hit for me at a really good time. Thanks for taking the time to share with us all.
Oh, this means the world. Thank you friend.
