There are so many times in our lives that we stand at a crossroad, knowing that transitioning is inevitable, but paralised to know what to do. We tread water in a vain attempt to get traction, recognising that although we aren’t drowning, we aren’t moving forward either! During this first month of 2024, I have had several new clients that are in this space and wanting to know which is the right pathway forward for them. They seem unable to commit to moving in a particular direction just in case they get it “wrong”. I am encouraging them to focus on what they want this time of their life to be about, rather than what do they want to be doing. I am encouraging them to get their helicopter really high up above their whole life, and make decisions not only about career, but also self and family and creating a true sense of living all areas of their life purposefully. As we take the blinkers off and take a look around at all that is possible, we become courageous, knowing that anything is possible, including crossing those intersections that require more than just a cursory look right, look left. If you are at a crossroad somewhere in your life, require more of your thinking. Instead of worrying about what you want to be doing, challenge yourself to consider what you want this time in your life to be about. I bet you will be excited about what you can see.
