This needless busyness can be one of the greatest stumbling blocks to attending to the fulfilling thing. It’s perhaps no wonder—it’s easier to attend to something that has a deadline than to something limitless and unstructured. It can seem more pressing to attend to someone else’s needs, wants, or demands than to our own wishes, pursuits, and dreams. It can be less daunting to attend to the things we feel confident doing than to the things we are unsure about. It seems simpler to begin the things that have some semblance of certainty than to step into the great unknown.
