Are you hoping that raise or promotion will finally make you feel successful?
Are you hoping that when you hit that revenue target that you'll know your organization has finally "made it"?
Are you hoping that when you've lost that 20 lbs, you'll finally feel confident?
Many people have this "one" thing and believe that when they reach it, everything will change. Life will be magically transformed and all problems will go away.
More often than not, goals get reached and the person doesn't feel what they were hoping for.
They got the promotion or raise, but instead of celebrating, they said to themselves "what's next?".
They lost the weight and felt stressed, worried and unhappy.
This is because what we are focused isn't what we really desire. And external achievements or circumstances often don't impact our vital needs.
If you're looking for more confidence, success, safety and happiness, that doesn't come from what's happening around you. You need to generate yourself.
