Why the Road To Self-Discovery Can Be So Damn Painful
This year should be renamed the Year of My Enlightenment. There’s been some highs and lows throughout the year and, fortunately, more highs than lows. One thing is true; all these moments are part of the continuing education of Chris Coulter. Perhaps I’m more aware of my surroundings, environment or vulnerabilities, perhaps these moments are around us all the time, and we choose to ignore or not acknowledge these messages. Maybe we need to be in a different state of mind to realize they exist at all.
Last week, I was approached by a former business acquaintance about how and why I had decided to make a career shift and any suggestions that I might offer. We discussed the obvious need for passion in what we do and continually grow personally and professionally and whether there was a viable income stream associated with the change. I don’t think I gave her much direction, but it made me more reflective about who I am and who I have become.
Our meeting became more esoteric than a step-by-step lesson on how to relaunch a career. RD had pointed out a few things about our previous encounters that I was unaware of, but thankful for her honesty. Previously, she had said that I was intimidating and formal. I interpreted that as I was an asshole! She was right. There have been some events over the last few years that have helped to change me. I want to think for the better:
