The Good Life - 09/17/2023 - Walking like I’ve already arrived
Updated: 6 days ago
My walking has changed. I used to walk like I needed to be somewhere. Not so much anymore. Now, I walk like I’ve mostly already arrived—which is very different. For once we’ve arrived there’s no more haste. We’re there after all. Even when first setting out, I’m already there. Along the way, I’m there. Going back even, still there. Where is this there that’s seemingly everywhere? It comes of clearly defining my life’s work and assessing if this worthwhile purpose is complete. And if my life’s work is complete; well, then clearly I’m there. And there is a good place to be.
