So… how is it with your soul today?
Tricky to tell sometimes, I know.
Souls can be at peace. Souls can be unsettled and restless, like this guy here to the right.
The one thing a soul CAN’T be is statusless.
I have recently discovered that all restlessnesses/unsettlednesses are not created equal. They can spring from different sources.
An unsettled soul can alert you, for example, that you have somehow desecrated your own moral compass… violated values you once said you stood for.
Souls can also be unsettled by facing a difficult, yet necessary task. For example, I once had to fire a friend from a job for which I had hired him just a few months earlier. (PRO TIP: only be as willing to hire a friend as you would be to fire that friend.) My soul was highly agitated in the days before the, “Fred, it’s just not working out” conversation took place. And yet it was absolutely the right step to take.
And so I wonder; can that same kind of duality apply to a soul at peace?
That is, can a soul be at peace for more than one reason?
Something to ponder, I guess.

Remind me to never work for you! Good one!
