When you’ve always been the career person it’s hard to suddenly not be. Whether that be by choice or the decision has been forced upon you, it’s hard for people to understand from the outside. Great read, will check out the book. Thank you!
Context is everything, but I agree with your words and am living through it. A challenge to find balance, what works for you, and it can be ever in flux. Still, we aim for the ideal.
"What do you like to do" is an improvement over "what do you do." But it still assumes the person has access to what genuinely matters versus what they were conditioned to want. Frankl's inversion goes deeper: don't ask what you want from life. Recognize that life is asking something of you. Most people have never been asked that question.
