Hey Stranger!
Nice to see you here again! 😊
Remember when I asked you to write down how your future self looks? Did you answer the big question: What do you really want? You know we can’t hit a target we can’t see, right?
I get it—sometimes it’s tough to picture where you want to be in five or ten years. Some people don’t even know what they want to do this weekend! And that’s completely normal. But if your mind keeps whispering (or even shouting) that you should be doing something else, that’s your clue. Deep down, you already have an idea of what you truly want.
Dreams can feel overwhelming, especially when you don’t know how to reach them. But everything is possible when you connect your vision with action. Think about yourself five years ago. Where did you hope to be by now? Have you accomplished something major that brought you here? Did you ever imagine you’d be doing what you’re doing now? What was your dream back then?
Hmm, tricky question, right? I remember telling myself, I really, really want to work in recruitment. But I had no idea how to make it happen. At the time, I was still new to the UK, my language skills weren’t great, and, let’s be honest—good communication is key in recruitment. I also had little administrative experience, which made it feel impossible. One rejection after another. But I didn’t give up.
Then, I took a job far from home just because it was in an office. I figured, Great! This will give me the experience I need to get into recruitment. Next, I completed a recruitment course and added it to my CV. I’m not sure exactly what tipped the scales, but after some time, I landed my first job in recruitment. Dream achieved!
But here’s the thing - time changes us. Our priorities shift. And that’s okay.
What I want you to take from this is that sometimes we have to take a different route. Sometimes we have to work our asses off doing things that will eventually lead us where we want to be. Good things take time. I won’t lie - I wish things happened right now. But then I remind myself: This is a journey. You level up when you learn the lesson. So if things don’t happen immediately - stay patient and keep moving forward.
Now, think back to five years ago. What was your situation? What helped you get to where you are today? How much did you really want it? Be honest with yourself. Answer these questions and acknowledge how far you’ve come.
So many people say, In five years, I want a successful career, a happy marriage, and kids. That’s an amazing dream! But what does a successful career mean to you? What does happiness look like for you? How does your future partner look, act, and feel like? How many kids do you want? There are so many questions to answer if you truly want to see the whole picture.
And this is where a life coach can help bring clarity and direction. Have you reached out to me yet? 😉
Once you know what you really want, that’s the first big step toward an exciting future.
