T.S. Eliot said,”Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure it is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that it is what you feel.”
Anytime you see people making a midlife career change, you can almost be certain they have been living someone else’s dream and lost their way.
Parents mean well when they encourage their children towards a career. Children see themselves through the eyes of their parents or role models so it’s no surprise that many times they go down the path that their parents wanted for them. These are the adults we see with the mid-life career changes.
When the dream is right for the person and the person is right for the dream, the two cannot be separated from each other. You have to own your dream! That is the key that opens the dream to everything else. When you own it your passions will increase which make you set the goals, and develop a strategy to acheive it.
Do you own your dream? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to acheive that dream?
Will you share your dream with me? I would enjoy hearing you tell me all about it.
