Are You at a Crossroads?

 

looking at a tree and crossroads

Are you at a crossroads in your life or your career?

Do you feel like something amazing is ready to bust through but not sure exactly what it is, or how it will take form?

Do you find that things you used to be good at are no longer satisfying or even interesting?

Have you been daydreaming or even just longing for something different but not sure where to start?

It might feel disconcerting and even overwhelming. Maybe you think you need to change jobs or even careers. Or perhaps you just feel you need a change of scene – different projects, new challenges, new opportunities. You might still be reeling from a recent significant change.

Is something new and different beckoning?…maybe a great idea brewing that you just haven’t had the time (or the courage) to explore? Perhaps you’ve put it on the back burner and tried to dismiss recurring daydreams to go back to the tried and true, but it the tried and true just doesn’t seem to work for you anymore.

In fact, it could become downright miserable. And though you continue to resist the feeling that there’s got to be more than this, you can’t help but wonder if it might be true.

If any of this resonates, you are on the verge of an exciting, energizing transformation. But it may or may not feel exciting and energizing. Right now, it could just be disconcerting and uncomfortable. And you may not know exactly what to do about it.

What if you were not alone?

Would it help to know that many people are feeling the same way? Some of them have just quit their jobs because they were miserable. Some have been laid off. Others are at the pinnacles of their careers, by all appearances wildly successful but dying on the inside.

Some are at the helms of corporations or large organizations, wanting to take things in new, exciting directions but not sure where to go or how to get there. Others are inside organizations, acutely aware of what’s possible and what’s not working, but hesitant to volunteer their thoughts and ideas or fearful that doing so is just too risky.

Still more are entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, writers, and other creative, innovative, and resourceful people that are playing (or wrestling) with the idea of entering unchartered territory.

The good news is you don’t have to go off the deep end. 

Though change is knocking at your door (and may already have come through it), you don’t necessarily have to tear everything down and start over again. You just need to learn to see things differently – your opportunities, your challenges, your very self.

And you must learn to tap the reserves and the brilliance that is within you.
