✍️ Stop Performing Your Life — Start Living It
Are you actually living your life, or are you performing it for other people?
A lot of us make decisions based on what looks right from the outside — curating our choices instead of asking what we genuinely want.
Three tools to help you stop performing and start living:
- Visceral drafting — write your raw, unfiltered thoughts to see what you actually think and feel
- Strategic thinking — ask yourself honestly where your best mental energy is going each day
- Finish what you start — jumping to new projects when things get hard means missing out on the compounding power of seeing things through
And the most important question of all?
What do I actually want?
That question alone is the difference between being a follower and being a leader.
