A lot of people are unhappy with life.
Lack of self-worth, jobs that suck, lack of purpose, and feeling trapped in a script they don’t want to be part of.
Feeling any of that?
But here’s the problem blocking you from choosing better:
- You’re either too comfortable,
- or you think you don’t have any choices.
Two depressingly common blocks to making progress in life.
The comfort of being led
You secretly love being told what to do. But it’s killing your potential.
There’s a hidden addiction to external validation in career decisions, making you sit on the fence dangling your Hobbit-feet instead of taking charge.
You’re a script-follower instead of being the scriptwriter of your own life.
Yeah, it’s sad.
The illusion of limited options
Without you realizing it, your brain is convincing you there are only 2-3 paths forward in life (when there are actually dozens).
The “employment trap” and traditional careers are blinding you from modern and creative new income alternatives.
You think having a “safe” job is better than “risky business”—a business that could be more stable and profitable than a single flat salary that never grows. And you won’t get fired unless you fire yourself.
Now, before you curse the wind of change, here are 5 useful notes:
- You most likely have skills people would pay for
- You most likely have the capacity to learn a new skill
- The tools to start a business are close to free
- Creative thinking will get you farther than waiting to be told what to do
- Stop hanging out with other depressing people
Yesterday, at a coffee shop, I talked to the lady behind the counter.
She had previously told me—and indicated—a deep lack of happiness in her job and life in general. But she made a choice.
She decided to learn Cyber Security!
Just the choice of trying something new made her vibrant and happy in life.
Web design is one way I have kept my freedom. But I also help people break through unhappiness with my coaching programs.
My 1-1 introductory calls are always free—Ready for change?
