There has to be more to life … right?

 

Do you ever feel you’ve ‘outgrown’ parts your life?

You may have outgrown a relationship. A job may no longer excite you. Maybe you look in the mirror and see someone you don’t want to be anymore. Perhaps recent feedback has caused you to reflect. You might even be fed up and ready to throw in the towel. Behind the scenes, millions of people feel the exact same way, I know I did!

This feeling is called growth.

It’s the feeling just before you decide to psychologically, emotionally, physically, mentally, professionally or personally make a change. It isn't easy. Growth is hard work. But, as they say, nothing changes if nothing changes.

A few years ago, I went through an epic growth spurt of my own.

I went through a break up, so I brought a return ticket to New York City to see Beyoncé’s concert to cheer myself up. The day of the concert arrived and … I cried my butt off. I was so miserable I couldn’t even enjoy the concert. (True story, watch the TEDx talk here!)

In that moment, I experienced a big ‘aha’ moment. I realised the only person who could make positive change in my life was me. And if I was committed to living a life that made me truly happy, it was up to me to figure it out!

With that shift in mindset, I started to make small steps to living a life that truly reflected what I wanted. I started to create tools to clarify my wants, communicate my boundaries, protect my time, advocate for myself and top up my energy tank. I created my first company, Happiness Concierge.

As I shared these tools online, I started to live the life that reflected my true self and thousands of people were empowering themselves with these tools. It felt amazing! What I’ve learned since my ‘Beyoncé moment’, is that small steps of action can lead to a life where you feel empowered and aligned. When life doesn’t reflect what you want, we really do have the power to make positive change.
