I’m finishing a degree I don’t technically need. Building something I don’t know will land the way I’m envisioning. Showing up for a community whose container is still taking shape.
Three different situations. One lesson.
Lead anyway. Without knowing how it ends.
That’s what this week is about — and it turns out two of history’s most unlikely companions have the clearest things to say about it. A Roman Emperor writing privately in his journal, never intending anyone to read it. And a god speaking to a warrior on the eve of a battle he doesn’t want to fight.
Marcus Aurelius and the Bhagavad Gita. Stoicism and Karma Yoga. Different traditions, same King.
Do the work. Release the outcome. Serve the role without being consumed by it.
This is the close of The King’s month — and something I’ve been building quietly in the background is almost ready to step into the light. You’ll be the first to know.
