Do we really want to muddle through a life that “isn’t it,” just for the sake of comfort?
---
I’ve been there…
And it wasn’t fun. ❌

---
What did it give me instead?
👍 A sense of dissatisfaction
👍 Low self-esteem
👍 Impostor syndrome
👍 Susceptibility to distractions
👍 A negative outlook on the future
I was good at what I did, but I lacked a challenge.
And without a challenge, I stopped taking initiative.
Things were fine—until they weren’t.

Here’s what I decided to do:
🖋 Map it out: What energizes me?
💡 Clarify: What beliefs are holding me back?
📆 Plan: Where do I want to go?
---
My insights:
I’ve always loved being a listening ear for others.
I ask sharp, thoughtful questions—always with respect and without judgment.
Pairing that with showing my own vulnerability deepened my connections,
even with strangers.
So I sat down, wrote and wrote,
until everything became clear.

Fast forward to now:
✅ I’ve turned my passion into my career:
➡ Helping stuck professionals gain clarity and make meaningful changes.
✅ I aim to make an impact:
➡ Every person who feels stuck, lost, or unheard is one too many.
✅ I want to inspire:
➡ I’m far from perfect and have my own challenges.
And that’s part of being human.

Now, I regularly do things that push me out of my comfort zone:
⏺ Approaching strangers.
⏺ Giving compliments to people on the street.
⏺ Getting up early every morning to exercise.
Why? So I have the courage to tackle bigger challenges when they come my way.
