The rider, the elephant and the path!
A concept to help you think about change. 
If we want to make some change, our brain has to get involved. Our emotional side of the brain is more powerful than the rational side of the brain. The rider is the rational side of the brain - riding the elephant, the emotional side of the brain. The path is the clear direction for the elephant to follow, with the rider on its back.

People can forget what you do and what you say - but they'll never forget how you make them feel.
Feelings stick with us - our emotions are strong. How do the people you're surrounded by make you feel?
We're responsible for how we feel - other people don't create those responses in our emotions - that's our response. And then we realise we have agency on changing our minds - we have control over how we feel. 
People can try to make you feel a certain way - but how you feel ultimately, is on you. This can be empowering but also quite a confronting concept.

If you could wave a magic wand - what would your life be like?
What a question!
What are your big dreams and where are you now in terms of making those dreams come true?
We have this one life and it's our own responsibility to make sure we make the most of it, because one thing is for sure, Prince Charming isn't riding in to save us!
How often are you checking in on your dreams and making sure you're on the right track?

Are you feeling the stresses and strains of working a lot - burnout perhaps?
Workaholism is what it's been called in other media. 
Workaholism is making headlines at the moment in the same way as alcoholism and/or drug abuse would impact lives.
