Today I had a conversation with Stephen.
And something about his story really stayed with me. He didn’t walk away from his business because he was unhappy. He wasn’t burned out. In many ways, life was working.
And yet, there came a moment when he felt a quiet inner signal:
“I need to pause.”
Together with his wife, they decided to take a one-year break, no plan. No guarantees.
Not an escape —but an act of trust.And it left me with this question:
How do you know when it’s time to push forward —and when it’s time to stop pushing at all?
Because sometimes clarity doesn’t come from more action. It comes from space.
You don’t need to solve this today.Just let the question stay with you for a moment.
(In the full conversation, we also explored what can happen when you allow yourself that kind of space — and how a new sense of purpose can emerge naturally from it.)
