What do you want in the current season of your life?

What do you want in your life/career/business? From my observation, this seemingly simple question tends to have a baffling effect on many people, no matter how old they are or who they are. Yet the answer to that question can hold the key to one’s life direction and satisfaction.

If you have been brought up with the notion that ‘life is not about what you want, but what you have to do’, then getting clear on what YOU want might be a challenging exercise. Still, it is worth doing it as it’s never too early or too late to pursue something that’s important and fulfilling to you.

Yes, we do have responsibilities that need honouring. But how often do we honour what we want and need, and see it as important? Our main responsibilities can congruently co-exist with what we want to pursue. Being responsible does not exclude being happy and fulfilled.

What we want and need can also naturally change in our lifetime. What we want in our 20s or 30s can significantly differ from what we want in our 40s or 50s etc. This natural process is part of our personal and professional evolution. Different life season brings about new perspectives, priorities, wants, needs and advantages.

Any life season can give you an opportunity to explore what you want and start pursuing it. Perhaps, previous life seasons have been preparing you for that next step…
