Breaking free of what’s expected: Alternative to the career ladder lifestyle

There is nothing wrong with you for not loving it

Are you ambitious and set out to be successful, and love to be good at stuff, want to use your intellect and creativity to grow, make something good? Are you actually in a job right now where, on paper, you should be feeling delighted and happy about, but feeling trapped in the most common way of working, trading away all your time and energy?  Are you feeling tired and disappointed of living an average day that follows more or less the same routine year in and year out;

Commute, long work hours, things not working out, commute, Often home after kids sleep. food in front of Netflix. Sometimes play with kids. Sleep. Sounds familiar?

Too little time in the day for all you’d like to do, too short vacations for the trips you’d love to take your family on, too many years until your pay will allow those trips, or matches your dream house. Too much energy going out, just putting up with the ordinary every day, taking all the fun out of the weekends just suppressing and “handling” the stress.

A stress that you wonder if it REALLY comes from to much to handle, or if it actually might come from feeling trapped in a system that won’t allow you to live the life you actually would like to live before retirement… Feeling you you are strange for wondering why exhaustion is considered as “normal”, and that you are the problem, the one not “strong” enough to cope with “how things are”?

No wonder you feel stressed! Seeing your dreams die, and dreading that time and a few more promotions, will make you so tired that you finally accept it.

If this is you I won’t nothing more than to help you! You are NOT alone.
