You can sit at the head of the table and still be starving for something nobody there can serve.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Achievement and position do not feed every kind of hunger, and the ones they cannot reach do not announce themselves clearly. You can be at the top of something and still be missing closeness, meaning, or rest, and the surroundings will keep suggesting that you should be satisfied.

Name what you are actually hungry for, separately from what you are pursuing. Then ask whether your current path can supply it. If not, that need has to be met somewhere else, deliberately.
