Do you ever feel like you are stuck?
Traveling down a path in life or in business that isn’t really what you want, but you aren’t sure how to change things?
I’ve been there.
I once described it as waking up and realizing I was running in a race I never meant to enter.
I was exhausted, unfulfilled and completely unsure of two things:
- How I got there
- How (or even if) I could change directions
If this is starting to sound familiar, I have good news:
The path you are on right now isn’t a life sentence.
You can absolutely step off that path and over to a new one.
(And, no, you aren’t too old, too young, too far gone, or anything else your brain might be telling you right now.)
But, let’s be honest, no one is going to give you permission to change paths. And no one is going to do the work for you.
We live in a world that conditioned us to choose a career at 18 and stick to it.
We live in a world that tells us what a ‘productive human’ looks like. What a good human, worthy human, a valuable human looks like.
I can’t tell you how many clients I have who are doing work and living their lives based on a set of rules and beliefs that were INSTILLED in them as they grew up.
When we really dig into these rules and beliefs, they no longer feel true, but my clients (much like I was) aren’t sure if they can change things – let alone how.
This is what I call the moment of choosing.
And, it is my one of my favorite places to help my clients.
Once you realize you are playing by rules and living by beliefs that do not serve the person you are TODAY …
You get to decide what you want to do:
Stay on the path you’re currently on or choose a new path.
As someone who married ‘late’, chose not to have children, started two companies, and walked away from anything that didn’t feel like me, I can tell you there’s a lot of beauty in choosing your own path.
And, I will also tell you there’s a lot of work involved.
But you are worth it.
It is never too early or too late to get what you truly want out of your life and career.
If you are ready to break some rules and change some beliefs, but you are scared, I’m ready to hold your hand and walk with you.
Here’s a question to help you start this journey: if this isn’t the path for me, what path might I want to take instead?
By simply asking and answering this question with honesty, you’ve taken the first step.
