Two and a half years ago, I took a leap. I left behind the stability of a job in the courts, believing I was stepping into a life of passion, peace, and purpose. I thought starting my own business would be the path to fulfillment—that following my heart would lead me exactly where I was meant to be.
And in many ways, it has. I’ve done incredible things, embraced new experiences, and followed my dreams. But here’s the part I didn’t expect: the weight of doubt. My business hasn’t taken off the way I envisioned, and I haven’t found another job. Some days, I ask myself—Did I make a mistake?
Reading others’ stories, I realize I am not alone in this feeling. Many of us have walked this path—doing “all the right things,” showing up, putting in the work—and yet, something still feels “off.” Like we’re stuck in place, despite our best efforts.
What I didn’t fully understand then—but am learning now—is that success is not always about immediate results. It’s about alignment. It’s about discovering what’s holding us back—not just externally, but internally. The fears. The subconscious doubts. The deep-seated beliefs that whisper, Maybe success isn’t meant for me.
The truth is, growth isn’t just about moving forward in visible ways. It’s also about healing, processing, and reworking the foundation we stand on. Sometimes, the path feels uncertain because we are building something that has never existed before—something deeply unique, something shaped by our experiences, something that requires patience.
So I’m choosing to reframe what “success” means to me. Because maybe success isn’t just financial gain or external validation—maybe it’s found in the bravery to follow your heart, in the lessons learned along the way, and in the resilience that keeps you going, even when things don’t unfold exactly as planned.
Maybe success is simply trusting that my journey is leading me somewhere beautiful, even if I can’t see it yet.
So, to anyone feeling stuck, doubting their path, or questioning their choices—you are not alone. You are not a failure. You are navigating something extraordinary, even if it feels uncertain right now.
Keep going. Keep believing. Your story is still unfolding.
