You are in the life you’re designing.

Embodiment does not wait for your design.

A system does what it is designed to do (Donella Meadows), and you are a system, one of attention over time.

Whatever ways you are, will necessarily make the way your attention moves, the opportunities that attention brings, the people you enrill, and the work and energy this will ultimately yield.

The stirring wheel to entire operation is you, and your embodied self (who you actually are).
