Iโ€™m sharing this because not a day goes by without someone sharing their career frustrations and aspirations with me. I’m not a career coach, nor a guruโ€”nor do I aspire to be one. I simply made my own career shift, and suddenly, everyone wants to know how.

Sure, I’m happier now, but here’s the catchโ€”I don’t have the answers. No one does. The magic key is simple yet game-changing: “๐™’๐’‰๐™–๐’• ๐’…๐™ค ๐™ฎ๐’๐™ช ๐™ฌ๐’‚๐™ฃ๐’• ๐’•๐™ค ๐™™๐’?โ€

Some say it was easier for me. “๐‘Œ๐‘œ๐‘ข’๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘”๐‘œ๐‘ก ๐‘Ž ๐‘ฃ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก ๐‘›๐‘’๐‘ก๐‘ค๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘˜.” “๐‘Œ๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘๐‘ข๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘๐‘’๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘  ๐‘ฆ๐‘œ๐‘ข.” “๐‘Œ๐‘œ๐‘ข’๐‘Ÿ๐‘’ ๐‘“๐‘–๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘๐‘–๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘™๐‘ฆ ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ๐‘’.” …excuses they craft for themselves.

The key for change is to pause, reflect, and answer, “๐‘พ๐™๐’‚๐™ฉ’๐™จ ๐™จ๐’•๐™ค๐’‘๐™ฅ๐’Š๐™ฃ๐’ˆ ๐’š๐™ค๐’–?” What is preventing you from transitioning from what someone implied you should do to what you truly want to do?

Truth is, it’s often our mental blocks. Fear of risk, failure, judgments, and others’ opinions (Your partner, parents, friends, colleagues, or even people you don’t know…)โ€”these thoughts shackle us.

So if your current situation is bothering you, seize the change you want to make. And remember, ๐’š๐™ค๐’–๐™ง ๐™๐’‚๐™ฅ๐’‘๐™ž๐’๐™š๐’”๐™จ, ๐’๐™ค๐’• ๐’‹๐™ช๐’”๐™ฉ ๐™ฎ๐’๐™ช๐’“ ๐’‘๐™–๐’š๐™˜๐’‰๐™š๐’„๐™ , ๐’…๐™š๐’‡๐™ž๐’๐™š๐’” ๐’š๐™ค๐’–๐™ง ๐™จ๐’–๐™˜๐’„๐™š๐’”๐™จ.
