Internal Dream I want to feel meaningful by serving a bigger goal and being rewarded for it. I also want to feel intense and independent (“freedom to”) like I’m running a 100 meters distance on a smooth track for the World record.
Obstacles • Fear of failure • Risk for wealth and success • Fear of rejection • Obligation “People expect me to perform at this level”
Revisiting the Dream • Answer following questions: • Why am I doing what I am doing? • What did I want to feel when I decided to start doing it? • What will it take to regain that dream? • Conclusion: • Allocate certain amount to saving a/c and move on • Talk to my customers, see how excited they are and I will love what I do and people would love me for that.
