💪🏼 STAYING WITHIN YOUR OWN MEASURE
About Boundaries, Overload and Inner Order
Volume 2 of the series "The Quiet Path"
Many people do not notice when it becomes too much.
Not because they are inattentive –
but because everything still works.
Overload rarely arrives as collapse.
It arrives quietly.
As continuation.
As a life that keeps moving, even though something inside has slipped out of balance.
📘 What this book is about
This second volume follows Back to Real Life – and goes one step deeper.
While Volume 1 looks at self-optimisation, comparison and external pressure, this book asks:
- 🧭 Where has my own measure gone?
- ⚖️ When did I begin to override myself?
- 🫧 Why can a functioning life sometimes feel empty inside?
It is about adaptation.
About boundaries that dissolve unnoticed.
About responsibility, family and work –
and about the quiet moments when you realise:
I could keep going. But it no longer carries me.
✨ What this book is not
- ❌ Not a classic self-help guide
- ❌ No methods, no exercises
- ❌ No promises or success formulas
✨ What this book offers instead
- 🧠 Honest, personal observation
- 🌊 Calm, clear language without pressure
- 🪶 Space for recognition and pause
- 🔍 Orientation rather than instruction
The chapters combine personal experience with quiet reflection.
Not instructive.
Not explanatory.
Simply open.
🕯️ Staying Within Your Own Measure shows:
- that measure does not arise through renunciation, but through awareness
- that boundaries do not need hardness, but attention
- that inner order is not created – but returns when we stop overburdening ourselves
📚 Who this book is for
- for people who have carried a great deal
- for people who function – and have grown quieter in the process
- for anyone who no longer wants to optimise, but to live in alignment
