I do not enter a house. I assess it. I do not relax. I look for load-bearing problems in the conversation. Some people walk into a room and feel the energy. I walk in and decide who needs a clipboard. That is the red in me, protector, builder, fixer. Also emotionally, a foreclift with opinions. The four-color system says red is action first. Red is polite. Red is more like I heard three words in already moved furniture. Green wants more information. Yellow wants everybody to feel included. Blue is adapting to the room. Red is in the driveway wondering why nobody has started. That is why I get myself in trouble. My heart is good. My delivery just sounds like a warning label. I will say we should probably handle this today, but my face says this building is losing structural integrity and I am the last adult alive. I am 50 now so my red personality is starting to need adult supervision. Not therapy, a foreman. Somebody needs to stand near me with a hard hat and say Jesse that is a feeling not a work order because red turns everything into a project. Marriage problems, project, money stress, project, website issue, project sitting quietly, emergency project. I try to meditate once. My brain said good while we are here lets inventory every bad decision since 1993. Even my breathing is deadlines. Inhale, exhale follow up with warm lead, check netlify, fix bombed, app, clean a client house, turn pain into content, call it a day.

We want control because we can already see the part that is about to fall off. But if you live that way too long, you become the part that falls off. That is the lesson I keep learning.
