Successful But Unhappy? Time to Start Exploring Your Options

So you have all the trappings and wrappings of success.

You have a career that pays a high salary and you have climbed and clawed your way up the corporate ladder. You have the prestige car, holidays in Europe and a fine house. 

But you’re unhappy. 

You got to the top of the ladder and it’s leaning against the wrong wall. 

And instead of arriving, you’re now thinking of leaving. 

You’ve always wanted to do something that fulfills you but you feel empty. 

And you’re constantly saying to yourself, “There has to be more to life.”

Sometimes you dream about running away with the circus. 

To live in another universe. 

The great pandemic provided us the time to reflect. During the “great isolation” we thought about our lifestyles, our careers and life design. We started asking the bigger questions like:

“What should I do with my life?”

Do you have the courage to explore a different path?

A recent article in the Harvard Business Review, examines what rose out of the empty space the “Great Isolation” created. When we were banished to our homes to work remotely, we had time to think unfettered. We were no longer lost in the chaos of a modern living.
