You will never find real satisfaction if proving yourself to others is the biggest motivator in your career.

If your goals no longer excite you, it’s time to start asking yourself if this is truly what you want.

This is a question of “being in the flow”—and it’s the question that unlocked the door for me to find a
new career path, but I couldn’t answer it for myself until I’d made peace within myself and realized what
was truly important to me.
I become more centered and focused on ideas that pulled me in and captivated me… Ideas that are so
exciting that I don’t have to struggle to "make them happen".

This question intimidates some of my private coaching clients because they think I’m telling them to go
from 60 miles per hour to zero -- an especially nerve-wracking thought for the type A personalities out
there.

What I’m really telling them is not to slow down, per se, but to “go with the flow” instead of pushing and
trying to make things happen all the time.

This is not code for “give up” -- to the contrary, going with the flow is about finding a deeper and more
meaningful connection to what we are doing. Scientists describe “flow” as a “loss of self-consciousness
that happens when you are completely absorbed in an activity -- intellectual, professional, or physical”.

What matters most to you. Is there another way to get there?

When you dig deep, what do you want to have happen in your life? What is so compelling that it pulls
you in?

THAT is what you should do next in your career.
