TRI NURAINI

A client came to me months ago and shared how unhappy she was with her job. She is an accomplished leader, who has worked her way up to the management level in her area of expertise and industry, as she had dreamed of since college.

She then asked me, “Why am I not happy? I’m living my dream. How can I not be as fulfilled as I thought I would be? I’m supposed to be happy, aren’t I?”

I didn’t answer her question.

Instead, I asked her, ‘What makes you happy right now? what’s your priority?”

She paused.

And she finally answered, “A quality time with my baby boy”.

She realized that she didn’t have that at the moment. Though she loved her job so much, her priorities changed ever since she gave birth to her son. All this time, she thought she should always be happy as she has achieved what she dreamed of.

I told her, “It’s okay to change”.

She paused again.

.

Then shed tears.

.

I might have oversimplified the story because, of course, there’s more to the equation, but I hope I made my point.

It’s okay to change

You see, we are all human beings. Our thoughts and behaviors change as we grow. We change, we evolve, and hopefully for the better. It’s only natural.

And if that change involves our dreams, that’s okay too.

I reflect this to myself. If you asked me three years ago, I never thought in a million years that I would become a coach. I never knew about this profession before, let alone taking it as my full-time job.

I have grown a lot over the past few years, and I realized my dream has changed. My old dreams did not fulfill me anymore.

It was weird because I thought I had arrived. I was at the top of my career, and I thought I was done.

I finally let go of the idea of my old self. I realized that we are never arrived. We are always in the journey.

It took a while for me to finally surrender to my own growth. And it wasn’t easy. I gave myself 2 years time of transition, but along the way it only took me one year to fully embrace my new self. To walk in this path, embracing my newfound purpose in life.

I never look back.

I’m happier than ever.

Will I change again?

Perhaps. I don’t know.

.

I open myself to the greatest unknown.

It’s my best bet in life.

So, how about you? How have your dreams changed over time?

You may share with me if you feel called.

My wish for you is that you open yourself to where your heart leads you. 🙏🏽

Have a fantastic week! ✨

With love,
Tri
