If you are going to truly discover your passion, you will need to let go of your desire for others' approval. Many of my clients would tell you when they let go of the need for approval, their career flourished the most. John Smoltz, a future Hall of Famer, would tell you that when he quit pitching for “everyone else,” his career flourished.
Throw aside (no pun intended :)) others’ expectations. Your passion may be staying at home with your children. Or your dream might be making partner at your firm. Maybe you absolutely love working part-time at your children’s elementary school. Whatever your passion is, be proud of it and don’t be afraid to be happy in what you do every day.
Women need to stick together! We need each other’s support and encouragement in order to accomplish great things. Support your friends and colleagues as they pursue their passion. And help them be proud of their personal “formula for happiness,” even if it is different from your own formula.
And, most of all – enjoy and embrace the journey – each and every day.
