This gate exists for one reason: to slow things down at exactly the point most people speed up.
Gate Two is about balance.
Not motivation.
Not momentum.
Not action for action’s sake.
Inside this gate, we look at:
What you’re currently carrying (energy, commitments, expectations)
What your proposed change would add or remove
Where things are already uneven — even if they don’t feel dramatic yet
Most bad decisions aren’t made because people lack courage. They’re made because people don’t stop to check load, leverage, and stability before moving.
Gate Two helps you do that — calmly, honestly, and without pressure to decide anything yet.
Take your time with it. This gate isn’t here to push you forward. It’s here to make sure the ground is level before you even think about the next step.
