Today I listen deeply to the goals and dreams that are speaking to me right now.

Some of your goals aren't yours. They arrived from a parent, a former boss, an idea about what a person like you ought to want, and they are loud precisely because they were installed rather than chosen.

Your own wants are quieter. They surface sideways — the subject you keep raising at dinner without meaning to, the thing you read about when nothing requires it.

Listening deeply mostly means noticing what you return to when nobody is grading you. Give it ten minutes today with nothing to answer and no screen. Watch where your mind goes first.
