I Want & Life’s Too Short

• I want autonomy.
• I want stability.
• I want alignment between my values and my work.
• I want to use my mind creatively.
• I want my children to have a present parent.
• I want to live within my health limits.

This is not selfish. This is practical. This is sustainable.

We’ve been trained to believe that ambitions must be:

• prestigious
• externally impressive
• academically pure
• self-sacrificing

But building a life that suits our nervous system and, in some cases, disabilities, is not selfish — it’s wise. 

Life is too short to live a life that costs more than it gives.
