There are many transition points throughout our lives that lead us to ask ourselves this question—during puberty, when graduating from high school, while choosing and building a career, when our children leave the house, during retirement.
It can be nerve wracking, frustrating and overwhelming to search for the answer to this age-old question.
There is no doubt that change is scary, but we all know it is also inevitable. When we have time to reflect and realign, it can be incredibly valuable to do so in a meaningful way. It opens the door for self-discovery and progress in directions we may not have ever imagined.
While these stages can bring challenges, they also allow space for growth, exploration and the chance to focus on what matters most to you. If you are going through a transition, it may be time to take inventory and figure out what brings you joy.
Ask yourself: What does success mean to me right now? Who do I want in my life? How do I want to spend my time? What makes me feel good? What gives me purpose?
And maybe most importantly: What can I let go?
Whether it’s following your dream of writing a book, discovering a new hobby, exploring an award-winning restaurant, learning how to use AI or reigniting your passion for music, reconnecting with who you are doesn’t have to be a chore.
It can be an exciting journey that ignites your passion for what is important to you and leads you to become your most authentic self.
