During my so-called ‘midlife crisis’, I could not find my own voice amongst all the noise in my head; let alone ‘figuring out who I am’ and what I wanted!

The first step in getting rid of the confusion in my mind, was to start cleaning house. At that point in time, it was easier for me to think about “WHAT I DID NOT WANT”.

I no longer wanted to work in an environment where the only goal was to make MONEY.

I wanted to stop neglecting my FAMILY AND FRIENDS at the expense of my work.

Moreover, I realised I have LOST MYSELF at the expense of my job!

My PERSONAL VALUES no longer aligned with those of the organisation; and I wanted to stop being that person who does not show up as the true me (whoever that might be).
I needed to DECIDE where life was leading me, as opposed to others making those choices for me.

Gaining CLARITY of the above got me ready to consider the next step.

There is no better time than NOW to reflect upon ‘who you aren’t’.
