I came upon what some consider a big number this year, forty. My maturing mindset is this – I am wiser, decisive, and more forgiving as I go up in years. I do not look down upon it, rather embrace it with possibility!  With this has come a nudge for change, a new path to pursue. Just how big does that feel? HUGE! It can feel a bit overwhelming and times and fear of failure kicks in. Like why haven’t I figured it all out by forty, been doing said thing for years by this time, being highly seasoned with experience? Realistically, I think that in this day and age, we go through a number of career changes at many different stages in our lives. Luckily, I fall back on my convictions that I am wiser and powerfully decisive. By this point in life, I can hone in on what makes me energized (what could I do for hours on end) and crowd out what no longer serves me. It isn’t a fast process and I relish in having the opportunity right now to digest my ideas and try them out. My inherent optimism fuels my endeavor to figure it out and run with it.
