A Running Dialogue - 007

Expense of Agency (Audio)

For me, freedom without personal responsibility, discipline, structure, accountability, and something meaningful to work toward, is a death sentence. Turns out I’m not alone. Agency, our ability to influence our own lives without consideration for externals, is our power. Agency is my power to chose what’s best for me. But here’s the rub, how the hell am I supposed to know what that is?

I like to think I know some things about some things, but every day I’m reminded that, in many areas, I’m still pretty ignorant. Sometimes, I’m full-on stupid. I’m a work in progress. These essays help me to make concrete the more abstract ideals I have floating around in my mind. You supporting me, with a like, share, SUBSCRIBE (I won’t sell your email address.) a follow over on Instagram (@arunningdialogue), or even some encouraging words means the world to me for more reasons than most might comprehend.

Thank you for that.

Be safe out there.
