A friend of mine lives near Golders Green and was quite shaken by what happened this week. It made me step back for a moment. Sometimes work stress and job decisions feel huge, but real life events put things into perspective quickly.
How are you currently managing career ambition with just wanting a bit more peace of mind in general?

That's terrifying, I can't blame them for feeling that way. The entire world seems like it's gone mad. I'm just trying to put my head down and make it through each day. I can't think about the state of the world too much without getting depressed, so I do my best to focus on the things that are within my control.

I get this. I think focusing on what I can control helps, but I do not want to just “get through” each day. I still want progress, just without sacrificing my peace.

What happened? I guess I must be out of the loop because I didn't hear anything about Golders Green. You are right though, real-life events always put things in perspective.

There was an arson attack in Golders Green targeting emergency vehicles.. I think not seeing everything immediately can protect your peace, as long as you stay reasonably aware.
