Last week’s chapter was about what you’re gripping that isn’t yours. This one’s the mirror. What’s actually yours (your judgments, choices, effort, character) is sitting untended while you guarded the wrong gate.
Listen for how quiet self-abandonment is. It rarely looks dramatic. It looks like a skipped practice, a swallowed truth, a value set down because the moment got uncomfortable.
One thing you won’t hear in the episode: the chapter’s practice. Every chapter ends with a specific piece of work that turns the idea into something you live — and those stay in the book, where they belong: on the page, at your pace, with a pen and paper.
