Caring So Much For A Goal Is Exhausting
(audio 4m19s)
There’s a part of me that really wants this…There’s a part of me that really wants me to move forward…There’s a part of me that wants to be successful…And I know how good this is going to be for me…And I know how this is also going to benefit others…And it’s something that I want so badly I can feel it in my bones…It’s something I want so badly I can just feel the desperation…I’m glad there are things that I want badly…And I’m glad there are things that I want deeply…But truth be told, it’s exhausting…Caring takes energy…Longing takes energy…Being passionate about something takes energy…And there are times I wonder if…Having that sort of passion is actually a good thing…There are times I wonder if caring that deeply is good for me…Because sometimes that passion is all-consuming…And sometimes that passion is exhausting…I give myself permission…To know that I don’t have to feel the passion all the time…To know I don’t have to feel that longing every moment…I can let go of the longing…And still stay motivated…I can reduce the passion…And still be committed…It’s good from time to time that I ache for this…It’s good from time to time I long for this…But it doesn’t have to be every moment…It doesn’t have to be every day…It doesn’t have to be turned all the way up all of the time…I give myself permission…To be easy with myself…Knowing I will take action…Without having to be consumed by that passion.
