"Is This All There Is?" Mid-life Malaise and One Way to Address It
In Western culture, we hold the belief that once we reach a certain level of professional accomplishment and financial security, we'll achieve happiness and fulfillment.
But many of us reach the place of "having it all" and we're not happy or fulfilled.
In this episode, Lauren talks about the Happiness U-curve and her first step of climbing out of it. -
Success on Your Terms. The Case for a Personalized Definition.
Are you pursuing your definition of success? Or someone else's?
In 2019, Populace (a think tank) coupled with the Gallup organization to ask Americans what they really think about success. (Canadians: I suspect the findings carry over the border.)
The results are fascinating.
There is a significant gap between how we think society defines success and how we personally define it.
This gap leads us to measure ourselves against standards that are not our own.
And, from what I see in my practice, this leads to dissatisfaction and frustration, as well as a dip in life satisfaction.
So if you want to feel more satisfied at work and in life, you need to take a close look at what your personal metrics of success are and work towards those.
In this episode, I:
walk you through the research on success,
make a case for defining and pursuing success on your terms,
and share a question to help you find your personal definition.
