Another insightful piece friend. I think I started realizing this Aquarium as you called it when I was out on medical leave last summer which was brought on by a job and boss that was toxic, and draining. While I was out I turned back to my writing hence me first going to Medium and then coming here to Substack. I did everything I could think of to avoid going back to work because I do feel even still that I have outgrown my current situation. But I am also not at the stage where I can make a leap and do what I want yet. But I am sure I can put new things in place which I have been trying to do to get closer to my writing and help me grow. This article has me thinking we can outgrow our routines, what we do daily our focus those things do sometimes need to be adjusted. This piece you wrote helped me realize that I do need to make some changes. I think it also came to be more of an issue after turning 54 last month. I am not sure why that is but is. At any rate, your piece has me reflecting and thinking about what can I do to update my plan and get out of the Aquarium. Thanks as always for sharing Daniel. This is great. :)
