Is the Pursuit of Success Costing You Too Much?

Like many others, you might be feeling discontented, confined or empty when you still hear that small quiet voice within telling you that there must be more to life than you are presently living. You may be feeling the angst of an unlived life or unrealized talent.

Many of us have been taught to be practical and put our joy aside. We were talked out of what we really wanted and somewhere in the process of making a living; we simply forgot how to live. We forgot what really mattered.

Moving Toward a Horizon You Can Call Your Own

If you are feeling stuck, there is a good chance you are being pulled in two different directions at the same time. You may be caught between the push of your “ought to” self and the pull of your  “healthy rebel” or unconventional self. Some people experience this as the tension between their head and their heart. They often get stuck in one side while needing the other.

You Never Expect the Wild Card, but it’s there

When you can heal this split, you will find a new freedom to make more meaningful choices. Then you can personally discover one of life’s biggest secrets—that in life, as in a game of cards, there is a wild card. In poker, a wild card is chosen to liven up the game by creating unpredictable possibilities for a winning hand. In life, the wild card is joy and it trumps all other formulas for success.

When you can find your joy, you will have found your strength. You will know what belongs to you and where you belong. When you can see the connection between your joy and your abundance, you will understand that joy is much more than feeling good. You may discover that instead of devoting your life to making a living, you want to devote your living to making a life.

The Bees Will Come

When you start to orient your life around your joy and embrace who you are whole-heartedly, you will discover a new freedom—the freedom to choose what shapes your days and gives luster to even your simplest moments. You will understand the joy of being less perfect but more whole. You will know how to avoid the poverty of wasted years.

People come to me saying they want more fulfilling work or a career change but when I talk to them further what emerges is that for many of them, what they really want, is the freedom to be themselves more fully in order to express themselves more fully.
