EP 193: Do This to Reveal Something Better
Do you always have a plan for everything?
For type-A personalities, planning might give you a sense of control and comfort. But life doesn’t always happen according to plan.
Predicting the future is impossible, so applying regimented plans to a future that is unknown might actually be holding you back.
In fact, when you loosen the reigns and stop trying to control exactly how things should go, you might just find something better.
Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment, Blake reveals why planning can sometimes prevent you from actually achieving your goals. By focusing on what you expect things to look like, you might be missing the golden opportunities that are right in front of you.
In this episode, you’ll learn why planning doesn’t always get you where you want to go, and how it could actually be hindering your progress. You’ll hear how career coaching can help you let go of the things you can’t control and clear the path toward finding the changes you seek. By choosing a different path than the one you’ve always traveled, new opportunities will open up.
Sometimes, you just need another perspective in order to recognize the gold at your feet.
What You’ll Learn: • The impossibility of predicting your future (1:41) • Why the need for control can hinder your desire for change (3:23) • When it makes sense to plan versus when it doesn’t (6:13) • How you can start to challenge your assumptions (7:13)
Favorite Quotes: 1. If you are a type A planner, pride yourself on being responsible, making sure you consider all the angles before you take action, then you are likely stunting your ability to truly create the results, impact, and life that you want. 2. We can't know what's possible for us until we expand our perspective. 3. Whether you want to achieve a new goal, create change in your life, or just reach your highest potential, it starts by letting go of your attachment to the outcome. 4. As long as you're taking steps forward toward the goal that you want, how it comes to fruition doesn't really matter.
Additional Resources:
Rather than hoping the grass will be greener, identify what the RIGHT next step is. We can help you do just that.
Get clarity on where you are on your journey to career fulfillment, where you’re headed, optional paths to get there, and the right next step to take.
