Such a great post, Tania. You know how I am always talking about whether or not I'm having fun writing my newsletter? I think you put a finer point on it with Oliver Burkeman's quotes -- what I'm really getting at is, “Does this feel alive to me?” Thank you for that.
I keep going back to Does this energise me? Do I feel engaged? from the book Designing your life: https://tania.substack.com/p/035 These are all pretty similar, but some wordings will yield easier answers depending on the time/place/person, so I'll keep expanding the repertoire!
I think the expansion -- and the repertoire -- is fascinating and actually pretty important. Yes, they are all shades of the same thing, but the nuance seems to be where the meat is (to mix metaphors terribly 😂)
I would love to see you create a collection of questions that help people refine their motivations. (There is a whole universe of adjacent questions that could help people, of course, but that's a starting point.)
I love these quotes by Maria Fornet, thank you for sharing and translating. I searched for a copy of her book in English but it looks like it’s not available (at least not yet). Sounds like something I would enjoy quite a bit.
Loved this post and saving it...x
That means a lot, dearest x

I like that idea. Thank you 💡

I think you would definitely enjoy it. I'll let you know if the book is translated!
