I don't like or want to get political so I'm just going to say that last week broke my heart in multiple ways and in multiple places.

As a result, I'm finding it hard to focus on other things.

As much as work can be a distraction from larger issues of the wider world, it also depends upon me being able to put those other things aside.

And, that just isn't happening.

I am plagued by questions:

• What does it matter what I do?
• What else can I do that might matter more?
• Can anything that I do actually make a difference?

In some small way, maybe this is a good thing because I should be asking myself these questions on a regular basis and not just when things get to extremes.

In fact, these questions should be in regular rotation in my psyche.

I can't even remember the last time I took a good hard look at the whys in my life?

Let's be honest, as we get older, it's not something we're encouraged to do.
In fact, we're discouraged from doing it lest we "suffer a mid-life crisis."

For me, thinking about the why in my business is easy and happens quite often.
But, looking at the why(s) in my life beyond business, that's not as simple or as frequent.

So, that's the lesson I'm taking out of the present moment—to clarify the larger why of my life and honor and support it in how I show up on and off the court, so to speak.

Basically, I want to write a new playbook for myself guided by building the world I want to live in rather than just managing in the one I've got.

I have no idea what any of this looks like at the moment. I just know there is work to do on my end, and I need to give myself permission and space to get it done.

If you're feeling equally out of sorts, feel free to reach out to me. One thing that hasn't changed is my belief that we are better (and stronger) together.
