I was attending my niece’s graduation. The outdoor event was the perfect backdrop to sit back and savor the beautiful, balmy spring day. The stadium buzzed with excitement. Graduates marched onto the field, their faces glowing with promise and possibility. I smiled, remembering my 22 year old self – filled with dreams of a life stretched out in front of me. One filled with passion, purpose and adventure. But as the commencement speeches droned on – “Do your best, your future is bright,” blah, blah, blah, my mind drifted. I wondered how many times I’ve heard those lines before. Then, it happened, the head-snap moment… when the keynote speaker quoted Henry David Thoreau… “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined…” and suddenly, I was present…
Re-engagement Reset
That quote hit me like a lightening bolt, triggering reflection on the last 5 years and my personal journey of discovery. Five years ago, the pandemic lockdown left me joyless, isolated, and craving spontaneity. My days blurred into a monotonous cycle of surviving, not thriving - often losing track of the day of the week. Faced with letting that lost feeling consume me, or using the stillness for reflection, I chose to go within. My introspection helped me discover what truly brings me joy, and that experience transformed my life. By releasing what no longer served me, I created space to design an inspired new chapter energized with passion and purpose.
Where is your 22 year old self?
As a high achieving woman, have you lost sight of the dreams your younger self embraced? Or are you one of the rare lucky ones, living the vibrant, inspiring life you were destined to enjoy?
If you’re the former, you are not alone. So many successful women reach this life stage – careers or businesses thriving on paper, while their hearts yearn for more meaning, passion, and life. Often, they ask “is this the lifestyle I signed up for?”
Here’s the truth: An unfulfilling life isn’t your destiny. You were born to THRIVE, to live with passion, purpose, and unlimited possibility.
I vividly remember my 22 year old self dreaming of a bold, bright future – maybe writing a novel, exploring the world, or making an impact. Before my soul-searching journey, I was caught in an uninspired loop, far from the exciting lifestyle my younger self imagined.
