A few questions for your career and your life

“I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life’.”

― Maya Angelou

Just for today…

Take a brief moment to look back over your career.

  • Did you plan it all out and did it go according to plan?
  • Or was it less planned and more circumstantial?
  • Either way, are you okay with that or would you like to change it moving forward?

Now ask yourself those same questions about your life.

  • Did you plan it all out and did it go according to plan?
  • Or was it less planned and more circumstantial?
  • Either way, are you okay with that or would you like to change it moving forward?

Finally, read that quote above by Maya Angelou three more times; each time letting it sink deeper and deeper.

You can choose, at any moment, to make your life into whatever you want.

Sure, sometimes steering that ship takes time, but looking back in 10 years I imagine you’ll be glad you started today.
