Someone achieved everything they were supposed to want—career success, a house, possessions—and felt empty. Over five years they realized they were chasing external things to fill an internal void. Once they healed that, their relationship to work transformed from obligation to genuine joy.
I did all of the things I was supposed to do and then all of a sudden woke up and was like, whoa, like I thought this was gonna fill me up. I did all the things everyone told me to. I found success in business, I bought the house, the cars, like did all of the stuff I was supposed to do and that didn't work. Like now what? Which kind of what sent me on this like whole 5-year what does it all mean journey. On the backside of that, I realized that I was creating from a place of lack to fill up a hole that I was the only person that could fill up. And in healing that, what I actually created on the backside was this idea that if I crave success or want to achieve anymore, then I haven't learned my lesson. So I was keeping myself small because I didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past without, like you said, realizing that I can actually create from a place of abundance and pure love and joy. It's been incredible because now I leap out of bed to work. I love what I do so much. I love The clients and the people that I get to serve and the problems that I get to solve, like, it's so much fun. I had no idea business could be this much fun because that's not the space I was creating from before. It's completely different experience than it was.
