I always did well academically and in my early career days I used to have what feels like infinite drive & motivation. Even maybe a little too much hustle sometimes, I would work part time when I was in uni, even though I didn’t need to. I worked crazy hours my first job, I even slept under my desk in a sleeping bag once - I cared so deeply and worked so intensely. I had big dreams.
I’m now in my early 30s, I have a good career, I recently bought a house, yay. I have a good relationship with my SO. Nothing to scoff at but my motivation is not what it was.
One could say maybe I’ve grown complacent but I wake up everyday and that intense drive and motivation I had back then, it’s now just a dim light. I feel like I’ve lost that person in me and I want to be as driven and motivated and engaged as I was back then. Maybe a little less intense but you get the idea.
My dreams have changed too. I used to aspire to want to be a designer, something exciting like fashion or something. Now I just work a cushy management job in marketing.
I guess I’m a little lost and need some motivation.
