The Journey from Professional Identity to Personal Fulfillment
Preservation or Expansion?
Here’s a hidden trap within the pursuit of titles, money, power, pleasure, status, and prestige to structure your identity.
Who you are becomes inextricably interwoven with your titles, money, power, pleasure, status, and prestige.
When you embody the belief, “I am my job,” you objective yourself.
Life then becomes a fight to preserve what you are.
You no longer seek to expand who you are.
Reinventing your extraordinary second half isn’t a fight; it’s an act of expansion and becoming.
Your job is not your identity.

My memoir, “Blank Canvas, How I Reinvented My Life After Prison” is available on Amazon.
“Blank Canvas” is for anyone trapped in prison cells of unworthiness, inadequacy, shame, regret, and fear who want to free themselves so they can reinvent their lives with courage, purpose, meaning, freedom, and peace.
James Altucher, best-selling author of Skip the Line, Choose Yourself and Reinvent Yourself had this to say about “Blank Canvas.”
“Craig has lived a story NOBODY would ever want to live. I was riveted to each page because I kept asking myself, “How would I handle this?” and I didn’t know the answers. Craig takes us into hell, and then we ride with him on the journey back. Great story, great writing, great human being.”
