9 Massive Mistakes I Made When I Was a Professionally Successful (but Unfulfilled)
9 massive mistakes I made when I was professionally successful (but woefully unfulfilled).
Do any of these strike a chord with you?
🛑 I cruised on autopilot.
🛑 I was busy but not productive.
🛑 I believed my fears without testing them.
🛑 I didn’t prioritize meaningful activities I enjoyed.
🛑 I believed I wasn’t worthy of pursuing my childhood dreams.
🛑 I thought money and materialism were the paths to happiness, meaning, and fulfillment.
🛑 I believed I wasn’t capable of creating my childhood dreams without even genuinely trying.
🛑 I designed my life from a blueprint that wasn’t mine, so I was living a life that wasn’t actually mine. It was the shoulds, opinions, and expectations of others.
🛑 I didn’t try to understand the problem I was solving for and doubled down on money and materialism as the solution even though they weren’t solving anything (if anything, they were causing more pain).
I can’t change any of these; the past is written in the book of time for all eternity.
