I love spending time in Brooklyn. A lot of my friends live there, and for a few days, I love being swept up in the energy of the city.
On my last night there, I caught myself hurrying to dinner with my men’s group. The restaurant was only a few blocks away. I had plenty of time.
But something in me was already at the restaurant, waiting for the rest of me to arrive so I could finally relax.
That familiar feeling stayed with me. In this Living Letter, I’m reflecting on the ways we move through our days, the things we tell ourselves we need before we can enjoy our lives, and a question I keep coming back to:
What are we rushing through life for?
What’s one part of your life you’d like to experience more fully? And who would you like to experience it with?
It doesn’t have to require a trip or a big change. There may be something available to you today.
If you’d like a place to slow down and connect with yourself alongside other men, you’re welcome to join THE PRACTICE. Our last one of the year happens on Tuesday, November 17th, 2026.
Sending you all love,
Mike
