Do you look at other people and envy how happy they seem when they talk about their work? Do you envy those in their twenties who have the “time” to change their direction? Do you wish you could do it all over again? Well, you can. Easier said than done right? Sure, deciding to change jobs and even careers involves a lot of unknowns, obstacles, and restless nights; however, that can’t be worse than spending your days in a job that makes you unhappy and does not allow you to use all of your unique gifts and talents.

I was working with a client once who was miserable in her job. She did not feel challenged, she did not like the work, she felt her creativity was being stifled, and she hated her boss. I asked her “how would she like it to be?” She gave a long sigh, basking in the possibility of having the job she really wanted, but then quickly shifted gears to what she
