Career goals that once felt safe and certain can appear ludicrous ... when examined in the light of more self-knowledge. Our work preferences and our life preferences do not stay the same, because
we do not stay the same.

By mid-career what you care about may have changed, along with how you see yourself, your job, and what's important to you. You might feel overwhelmed and not able to manage things the way you’d like, yet wanting to spend more time & energy on what you really enjoy.

Whether you want to make changes or not, your circumstances, responsibilities, and commitments can make it hard to find the space to work out what really matters to you.

But you can start to explore your possibilities by taking small steps once you’re clearer on what you want.

With small steps you:

Build momentum and self-belief

Gain a sense of control

Shift from fear into openness and creativity

Open to a sense of possibility

Traditional self-help tends to see change in terms of lofty goals and total transformation, but research actually supports the opposite view – that small, deliberate tweaks infused with your values can make a huge difference in your life.
— Susan David, Emotional Agility
