One of the hardest things for me to grapple with is when my work doesn’t work. I’m naturally filled with questions: Am I hustling hard enough? Am I pushing hard enough? What am I doing wrong? In the frenetic energy and chaos of these moments, I try everything and anything possible. I’m searching for the answers to these questions. I’m filling my time with activities that tell me what to do, who to be, and how to provide value. But something happened today when I decided to quiet down and sit in the silence: I could actually hear what I needed.
