We don’t talk enough about a beautiful, brave truth about growth: you will grow out of everything you love in your life and career right now.
You will outgrow that job. That living space. That community. That relationship. That hobby. You will outgrow everything. Especially when you are building your brave, you will ever more quickly outgrow who you are and what you do, no matter how much you love it at this moment.
Since we don’t talk about this enough — especially when it comes to career growth, in stepping into leadership, and thriving in STEM industries — it makes sense that you get stuck, repeating your own indoctrination:
- “Be happy with what you have”,
- “But this is what you wanted!”
- (the worst!) “Who am I to want more?”
…. But getting more unhappy and stagnant with each breath.
I struggle with growing out of life and career phases that I actually love. At the start of 2023 I had a life lesson in this. Thankfully, a recent conversation with someone who has known me for over two decades broke open my struggle and allowed me to leap into clarity. I share the wisdom from that conversation with you.
Please know: not only is it okay to outgrow what you loved and yearned for before, but that growth is something to celebrate. Listen for more.
