Once the truth is on the table, the second pillar asks a plainer question. What, in fact, are you carrying? Not in theory. In practice, on an ordinary Tuesday. The people who depend on you, the resources you steward, the body and the hours you are supposed to be looking after and quietly are not.
The Life is the structure of your responsibilities, drawn honestly. It is where a vague feeling of being overloaded becomes a specific list, and where you find the things that stopped being yours without you ever agreeing to it.
Family
The people you are bound to, and how present you actually are for them.
Resources
Time, money, attention. What you steward, and whether you steward it on purpose.
Self Care
The maintenance of the one instrument all of it runs on. You.
Interdependent Love
The give and take that holds the others together, neither smothering nor absent.
