You Can Have It All

Each one who has left her job and did not create a fulfilling career for herself regrets it. I am telling you this after having coached hundreds of women over many years. Top regret at 50 - not having a deeply fulfilling career, which is an expression of her creativity and passion.

Let me tell you, there are two kinds of people - Successful and Very Successful. Successful people work hard, work long hours and sure create some success but at the cost of other areas of their life - joyful relationships, happy responsible kids and nourishing me-time. Many women give up on their careers somewhere in the middle or right at the start, either by quitting or succumbing to mediocrity; because they are on the path of being successful and sure enough, there aren't enough hours to do that.

There is another kind of human being - the Very Successful One, who creates excellence effortlessly in all areas of her life, works less number of hours and absolutely has it all. To be that Peaceful Warrior, to win that gold medal in the Olympics of Life requires rigorous work on one's own self to build leadership depth, to go beyond who you are as a human being to who you were born to be.

If you are a woman, rejoice and celebrate because you don't have the choice but to be the Very Successful One otherwise all that awaits you in the end is emptiness, bitterness, resentment as you dance the death of mediocrity. Find your path to your highest self and walk it.

Love, Jyoti.
