I’ve got what I wanted. So why do I feel empty and directionless?

You’ve been overachieving your whole life. Striving for the next goal. The next win. The next high. And you did it.? You got what you wanted. Or at least what you thought you wanted.
So why does it feel like there’s such a big hole? And why is your mind, once laser focused, jumping around all over the place?
Take the Porsche you bought. ?The car that used to say so much about you that doesn’t feel important anymore. Should you sell it?? After all, who needs a garage full of motors anyway?
Then there’s the business. Your baby for so long. Maybe you’ve cashed in on it. What happens now? ?Perhaps your impending exit is getting closer. What happens then?
Even deeper, there’s your values and beliefs.? Your roadmap of the world that’s served you well. ?The rules on what you ‘should’ want to do. The expectations of your family and society. ?None of it makes sense anymore. No wonder you’re stuck.
Trapped in paralysis. You already know that making yourself busy covers up the noises in your head. Only it doesn’t. ?And you want it to stop.
The first step to clarity and freedom is finding out what you’re avoiding. Bringing it out of the shadows. ?And getting to grips with any internal conflict.
If you’ve had enough of the paralysis, the frustration, the lack of purpose and you’re ready to be courageous and face your fears, DM me or arrange a call with me
Working together, you’ll soon understand what your compelling future looks, sounds and feels like.?

1 年Cassandra Andrews your article made me think of a book called 'From Strength to Strength' by Arthur C Brooks in which he talks about 'the strivers curse.' Basically people who strive to be excellent are increasingly jaded and unsatisfied linked to their professional decline which he believes is inevitable for all of us. But there is good news too. Check it out if you haven't already!
