Thanks for this. I agree that if you are somewhere that doesn't fit with your values - it's a recipe for anxiety and discontent.

I'm enjoying your Substack - it seems like we have. a lot in common. Mine is called Desperately Seeking Wisdom - and it's designed to help people navigate a complex, sometimes frightening, often indifferent but ultimately wonderful world. I hope you will check it out craigoliver.substack.com

What I find the most difficult is how going towards one set of values can be simultaneously going away from another. I like the compassionate reminder that saying yes to something is also saying no to something else. A reminder that we are finite humans and that it's not possible to have everything all at once.

I like that compassionate way of looking at it too. It can help us weigh what we move towards and move away from. It is very tricky being human!
