Mini lifetimes end when this is true. I have found that when anyone is invested in a personal place, thing, situation, circumstance, or what-have-you, all-in, 100%, and the same is not true for the collaborative whole, this is what happens. The situation falls apart. It has to. All parties, who/whatever they may be, are not leaning in with equal investment. Having one foot out the door, in order to be safe, is so much of how humanity operates. All with what could be called good reason, if we have compassion for the exit strategy involved.

Thank you for writing this! {Someone was reading…} When we invest fully in ourselves, in a true and radically honest way, we are more able to invest in collaborative efforts. For myself, I have found that investing in the Infinite that runs through me and everyone else is that touchstone. When we aspire to, or are able to accomplish, that, we will have gained something as a species.

Great read. Thank you.
