You dream big, you paint your desired job on a list of paper at the age of 6, you envision the future. Everything is possible. You can go so many different ways and they all can bring you to beautiful work destinations.
You work hard, you compromise, you take or postpone life decisions, work comes in the way of life. You continue with resilience and that same painting image of someone that close to a world of dreams, becoming your reality.
Like a love story, just about work and then between being in love with what you do and living your dream job life happens. Your heart experiences love or pain, you become a parent and your entire world shifts from being about you to being about something bigger. Someone else.
You care to have it all. You balance, you keep going, you grow, you dare to keep dreaming of having it all until you know that having it all does not always equal happiness. Nobody talks about that moment, when you realize that less is more. Nobody prepares you to step back before you step up again. Nobody pushes you to take a moment and realign.
Emotional stress at work is real. Burn-out is real. Anxiety is real. Not knowing where you stand and what is next is real. You determine which reality and dream you want to live in. Make it yours, own it, breath it. Let the world know who you are. You will always be you and you can always draw another version of what your dream world looks like!
