The tyranny of time

I left my law firm nearly twelve years ago. It was the right decision. I had work lined up, consulting opportunities were emerging, and trustee roles were accumulating. On paper, the transition looked straightforward; in practice, it wasn't quite so simple. The difficulty wasn't the work itself. Rather it was the gap between knowing I'd made the right choice and feeling comfortable with it. Knowing you've earned the right to step back doesn't make stepping back immediately comfortable.
