Career for me is more than just a function or source of stability. It’s about my true self, it’s about meaning. It’s important for me to feel the fulfillment from what I do.

I’m okay – just the way I am. I don’t need to fix myself. I don’t need to be in a constant fight. I don’t need to be stuck in reflections on what needs to change.

Until some moment, I’d never thought that people can have different ways of making decisions. Then I noticed friends often asking me how I was able to choose fast.

Who am I? What do I want? What will I never agree to? Until the age of 25, I thought I knew it all: I felt confident, self-reliant, and free.

For a large part of my life, I’d looked at change as something you decide and make happen. So you assess your current state, identify what you want to change and how that should be instead.

Often, in our busy lives, we get stuck in stress and mental loops. We push ourselves to be better – a better person, partner, employee, parent, or even a pet owner. In this race, there’s a risk of losing touch with our needs and desires. Not the big 5-year goals, but our needs TODAY.
