I feel like I’ve been doing life on hard mode lately.

Somewhere in the middle of life’s ups and downs, I find myself standing at opposite ends of success and failure in two parts of my world that arguably make my life worth living.

The all-consuming, ever-present, work-life balance.

On one side, opportunity has been showing up. New doors have been opening, momentum building and things I’ve worked toward for years are starting to come together.

On the other side my relationship has been on life-support because I have not been owning the unhealthy, near robotic way I’ve been operating.

I’ve had my armor on. Armor built from 20 years in this business. Armor that’s made me hard to shake, hard to slow down, hard to knock off course.

But this armor has a cost.

At some point, I stopped knowing how to take it off. I became harder to reach, harder to connect with, less able to slow down long enough to see the world through someone else’s eyes.

But why?

I get it. I run with my throttle fully pinned wide open with little regard for those that I expect to keep up and know my next move.

Unsustainable and unfair.

But I thought I was in control. The more I looked for what I had not been seeing, the crazier I felt. From my perspective, the stars were aligning and doors were opening. The work was responding.

But at what cost?

So with the cards in my hand, rather than play another round, I’ve decided to step back from the table and look at what is actually important to me.

What I’m seeing is both my blessing and my curse. Medically diagnosed optimism of the highest order. Only kind of joking…

After attending five high schools in the same town(iykyk) I was diagnosed with ADHD. Once prescribed Adderall, it felt like I was finally able to focus my energy and ideas. What used to feel like a geyser became a much more modest, but still intense, fire hose.

And so life continued.

On and off over the years, I used it to meet the demands of work when the job required it. For better or worse, what it gives freely, it takes back in spades. The focus and clarity comes at a cost. A nervous system living in fight or flight. A mind always scanning for the next move. A body

Having lemurs as family is an absolute joy, but for some people, they just can’t handle the sound, and when you get a bunch of them together, you better get ready for a party!!! Yes @conservativeant this is your buddy slash!
