By far, the #1 question I get asked is some version of:

\\u201cI hate my job but I have no idea what else I would do. How do I find some clarity?!\\u201d

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that no one can give you a clear answer to that question. Because what you\\u2019re really saying is: \\u201cI\\u2019ve lost touch with who I really am. I\\u2019ve done what I was supposed to do and found myself unhappy. I feel lost and don\\u2019t know how to get back to what I truly want.\\u201d\\xa0

The clarity you\\u2019re looking for can\\u2019t come from outside of you. The answer isn\\u2019t in some online assessment.\\xa0It has to come from within. It only comes from getting a better understanding of who you are when you aren\\u2019t trying to please everyone else or look perfect.

But here is the good news: Doing the work to find clarity in what you want to do with your life will change every single aspect of it. It will bring you back to yourself. It\\u2019ll lead to more self-compassion, self-trust, and self-acceptance.

It will help you stop the self-sabotage that will otherwise continue to ruin your life. It will give you control over your own internal state so you\\u2019re not at the mercy of reacting to everyone and everything around you.\\xa0

It will let you show up as the full, flawed human that you are so you can experience all that there is in this life.\\xa0What more important work is there?! So don\\u2019t go for the easy answer. Take the time to find out who you truly are and do it on purpose.\\xa0

This week in the podcast, I go more in-depth into how to start discovering clarity in what you truly want.
