Many candidates and coaching clients like to ask me this question. I always start the conversation by asking them another question. A question that I heard for a long time, and I love the wisdom in it very much.
“Are You Running Away or Running Towards Something?”
Sometimes in our life, we think that “leaving” is probably the only option that we can get rid of the current unchangeable situation. Therefore, we want to leave. But after a while, we realized that what we tried to run away in the past, always comes back to our life.
Therefore, if you found that you are trying to run away of something, let’s face it and conquer it this time! Don’t let it to hold you back. When you overcome it, it will set you free for your future success!
In the contrary, if you know that you are running towards something more exciting and fulfilling, let’s embrace the opportunity! Don’t limit yourself. When you step out of your comfort zone, it will move you closer to your purpose and a more fulfilling life.
Next time, if you have friend who asks you “Shall I make a move?”, you can ask them: “Are You Running Away or Running Towards Something?”
Hope it can inspire them to reveal their motivations at a deeper level.
