I can’t speak for anyone other than myself, but I’ve always been driven to achieve.
Maybe it stems from a childhood of insecurity and the feeling of not belonging (with the exception of my time in music). I used to think that at some point, I would be content to just, uhhhh, coast peacefully and blissfully with a book in my hand—and great music surrounding me.
As I face my transition, I somehow am not “feeling” it. I still feel as though I have more to give, but in a different way from my decades advising others on living their values with their money.
What it looks like? I have no idea. What will soothe that restless place within me?
I don’t know if it’s even possible.
Here are some random thoughts as I mull my next:
While I will still be involved in helping clients over the next unspecified time, I expect and hope to expand Chapter X to include individual coaching, speaking and workshops. Someone asked if I was going to write another book. That is a great question; the answer is maybe. I want to find an organization or cause that I can delve into more deeply.
My problem is that my heart goes out in too many directions to settle on one, but I am sure I will start somewhere that connects deeply to my soul. What about you? What soothes the beast that has driven you throughout your lifetime?
P.S. I acknowledge that not everyone feels this way. If you’re one of them, in many ways, I am in awe of your ability to rock back and enjoy more.
