We adjust fast….
I work from a laptop, have more freedom than I’ve ever had, I’m growing financially, and my skills are improving in something I actually care about.
BUT
I still get caught up in ME.
I’ll have a busy week, feel myself racing to meet deadlines (the racing is unnecessary), and then feel pissed off at everyone around me.
It’s so dumb.
If you would have told me the position I’d be in a year ago, firstly, I wouldn’t believe you, and I’d also think that I’ve made it- that being in this position, theres nothing that could possibly piss me off.
But we adjust.
Now, this is my new normal. So, I take racing speed demon with me.
And this made me realize, nothing changes you. There is nothing you can achieve, do, and improve, to suddenly be a different person.
Actual growth isn’t accidental, it’s intentional, purposeful, and consistent.
In the midst of me “playing the game”, climbing the career ladder, and going for my ambitions- I started pulling back (only mentally) and practicing stoicism.
I’m going after all I’ve ever wanted, while also knowing its not mine and I can lose everything I have.
I’m attaching my identity, values, and self-respect to my character. To developing a better self.
That’s the only thing that can’t be taken.
Everything else is fun, but temporary.
