Hello,
Sometimes work feels heavy.
Sometimes we lose our inner compass.
And sometimes life shows us exactly then where we should really be looking.
A few days ago, I came across some old notes that deeply touched me.
Written there was:
When your life feels confusing, empty, or exhausting—welcome it exactly then. Because you’re doing better than you think.
Maybe these words resonate with you right now. Perhaps you’re experiencing pressure, overwhelm, frustration, or the feeling of not being in the right place at work.
And yet, within these sentences lies a truth we hardly want to hear:
We don’t grow despite difficulties. We grow through them.
But the moment we begin to blame colleagues, bosses, circumstances, or “the system” for our dissatisfaction, we stop our own learning.
Do you know that feeling?
This inner “This really doesn’t fit into my life right now” or “The others are to blame”?
In moments like these, we lose energy. Clarity. And often the connection to ourselves.
The problem isn’t that you feel powerless. The problem only arises when you move into that feeling and start settling there—as if it were your home.
If you live in that feeling for too long, it becomes a habit. At some point, you realize that the only way out is to take responsibility for your own life.
Maturity doesn’t mean having everything under control. Maturity means cooperating with life and taking responsibility.
What if the challenges you’re experiencing right now are not a judgment about you—but an invitation?
👉🏼 An invitation to recognize your potential.
👉🏼 An invitation to realign your professional path.
👉🏼 An invitation to finally discover what truly lies within you.
What are your current professional challenges trying to show you—and where do they want to lead you?
The key lies in listening and …
🔑 waiting for the offers and questions of life (Generator, Manifesting Generator).
🔑 waiting until you feel invited (Projector).
🔑 recognizing who your actions affect and informing those people accordingly (Manifestor).
🔑 learning to distinguish between you and your perceptions (Reflector).
Let life guide you—through your strategy and your inner authority.
If you’re willing to look closely, what feels like an insurmountable wall today can open into a door tomorrow.
Would you like to find out which professional role truly matches your nature?
Then I invite you to consciously shape your path with my Human Design Vocation Course.
Because when you recognize yourself and work with your qualities in my course, you’ll also recognize your calling.
All the best,
Thomas
