After 3 life changing switch in the past 5 years
Today, it has been exactly one year after my last switch. One year ago, I took a plane, traveled 10,000 km and landed on my brother’s couch to start a new life. 365 days after, I’ve achieved all the goals I set for myself.
Is it time to set new goals? Yes! But first, I share with you the lessons I’ve learned after all my life changes.
3 lessons from one life to another
Everything is about Mindset.
I never had a doubt that I needed a change inmy life. Each of the 3 times.
My 1st switch happened in my mind.
I was just another consultant in a basic company. I wasn’t unhappy, just bored. I thought I had reach the point where I won’t learn anything new if I stayed. I really wanted more for myself. And I had no doubt that a change would be beneficial.
So, my first lesson learned was :
You always know when the time is right, just listen to yourself.
My first shift happened in less than 3 weeks. I accepted a new job in a tropical island 10,000 km from Paris (the island where I was born)… and I had less than 3 weeks to move. Challenge accepted.
As I was ready to change, everything happened very fast. After 3 days, I quit my job. One week later I throw a « goodbye party ». Ten days later my appartement was empty. And two weeks later I took a plane with my cat. I had one week left to buy a car and start working.
Don’t overthink it when your guts tell you to go.
My second switch wasn’t planned at all. I just talked a lot about one little idea with people. Friends and family. And one day, one of my dad’s friends told me: « You know, you have stars in your eyes when you talk about this project. You should do it. »
No more that ten days after, I had a discussion with my boss to negotiate my last month of work. That’s when I chose to create my own startup: a digital HR marketplace. And it’s only after my decision that I started to learn what I needed to know to create my own business. I just did it.
Sometimes, we just need to believe in ourself and jump… like right now.
Focus on your goal the world will line up.
If you are already in the move in your life, don’t waste your time doubting. Everything you need is coming for you.
When I failed my startup and came back to Paris last year. I was lost. But I had no doubt that I needed to find a new job as a digital consultant, find an apartment (again!) and be the best person I can.
I didn’t know how to do that. But I wanted it so much!
Thanks to the law of attraction, everything happened to me at the right time. My only assignment was to express what I wanted.
I wanted to find a consulting firm that embraces entrepreneurship. I wanted kindness. I wanted challenges. I wanted a good salary.
No, I didn’t write « I wish », but « I want ». Nothing was impossible at this time. Nothing could have been as horrible as living on a couch (even if I’m blessed to have my bother and his girlfriend in my life). I needed to express my goals out loud, then wake up and work for it everyday. That’s what I did.
You have to believe that, if you know what you want, it can actually happen for real.
Do you feel it’s time for a change in your life? Share it in comments. Express it out loud. 🙂
Take care.
