The Emotional Rollercoaster of Finding Your Mission

Have you ever experienced that "aha moment" where everything suddenly clicks? That's the feeling I'm grappling with right now.

For years, I chased countless ideas, none of them truly captivating my heart. I honed my skills in various roles, but it all felt a bit...unconscious.

Investing in Self-Discovery

A few years ago, I made a conscious decision to invest in myself. Through coaching programs and self-reflection, I began to see myself from a different perspective. I shared this journey with you earlier, but this time, I want to delve deeper into the emotions involved. While emotions weren't always my strong suit, they've become a powerful guide on my path.

A Flood of Feelings

Right now, I'm experiencing a wave of emotions. My corporate job is evolving to embrace my strengths and passion for digital innovation. Meanwhile, my private business ideas are gaining traction, connecting with my childhood dreams.

Yesterday was a whirlwind. Witnessing my role take shape within the company and receiving overwhelming support for my pitch – it was a lot to process! Joy, happiness, and excitement bubbled up alongside a touch of imposter syndrome whispering doubts.

Tears – More Than Just Sadness

As a child, I was discouraged from crying in public. Now, I recognize that tears can be a powerful expression of deep emotions, not just sadness. Often, they surface when I'm overwhelmed – yesterday's tears were a testament to that. In my head, I focused on delivering the perfect pitch, even making tweaks in the middle of the night. But the positive reception, the culmination of hard work, and the sheer joy of it all – it touched me so deeply that the tears just came.

Embracing the Full Spectrum

This experience taught me a valuable lesson: don't shy away from your emotions. They can be powerful guides on your journey. Whether it's excitement, fear, or tears of joy, embrace them all. Understanding your emotional landscape can help you navigate your path with greater clarity and purpose.
