For 2 years I have split myself. It hasn’t been serving me from the beginning.

There was something in the back of my mind telling me I was working on goals and schedules that were not sustainable. I just had to get in the right groove, the right mindset, the right *insert next catchy buzz word here.I told that voice it was underestimating me and to sit back and quietly watch me do the impossible. When inside I was fighting against the current with all I had.

Do you want a career that helps you play to your strengths? What about a career that is perfect for you? Finding a job that lights you up is easy but you then worry about making money. So you take a job that provides you the external benefits to pay bills, meet the mortgage obligation, etc.

At some point YOU made that decision so you can’t blame your teachers, bosses, and obligations for the situation you find yourself in. It is never too late to make a change that helps you build a successful (monetary as well as the intangible happiness that you seek) career and fulfilling life.

We all know a person (or persons) that has climbed the professional ladder at a speed that makes you wonder if they had wings. Watching them achieve, perform, and impress beyond anything we think is possible. Then they hit a wall and burnout or leave the organization. Do you wonder what causes professionals to burnout? The “honeymoon phase” ends and all the bad habits, lack of professional boundaries, and overwhelm come rushing in.
