Question 1

Name a project, role, or commitment you have maintained at high speed. When you slow down and look at it honestly, is it carrying you toward something you chose or away from something you fear? *(Listening for: the distinction between driven and pulled. Most sprinters cannot name what they are moving toward with specificity.)*

Question 2

At the end of a very productive week, do you feel more yourself or less yourself? If less, what is the motion costing you? *(Listening for: the gap between external output and internal depletion. High output with increasing depletion is the signature of circular motion.)*

Question 3

Where in your life have you been mistaking busyness for direction? Name the domain and the time period. *(Listening for: specificity and honesty. The domain matters because the pattern shows up differently in career, in relationships, in spiritual life.)*

Question 4

If the sprint stopped tomorrow, what question would arrive in the silence? *(Listening for: the avoided question. The sprint is very often organized around keeping that question from being heard.)* ---
