Yesterday was my Birthday! I just turned 40 and I’m excited about it!
Yeah, you read that right I’m actually happy to turn 40. There are several reasons for that.
- the first one if that I’ve never been as happy in my life and work as I am now. I do the work that I absolutely love and that is an expression of who I am. There is no other work I would be doing in the world than what I’m doing now. Helping people find the work they absolutely love that is aligned with who they are brings meaning and purpose to my life. I’m also part of an amazing community of friends with whom I can be my crazy authentic loving shining self! And I feel more connected to my family in France than ever.
- the second one is that I’m proud of the woman I have become and the amazing things I’ve accomplished so far in my life. From a tiny hamlet in the South West of France to Paris, Montreal, and San Francisco Bay Area! I’ve realized most of my dreams: moving from France to Canada and the US, becoming bilingual, working for one of the largest Internet companies in the world, climbing the highest peaks in the US, changing careers to pursue my passion, and founding my own company in the US.
I have a special gift for you!
I want you to be as excited and happy about your life and work as I am when your next Birthday comes along. I want you to have a career and life that bring deep meaning and fulfillment. A life that you are grateful for and proud of! A life where getting older is not threatening because you don’t have any regrets and you feel alive!
I recorded for you a powerful visualization that helps get in touch with what a meaningful career and life is for you. I do it with my clients and most of them find it very enlightening. Listen to the visualization here and connect with your purpose and meaning.
I’d love to hear what you discover. Feel free to share in the comments below!
To your meaningful life and career! I’m grateful to have you in my life on that special day.
Warm wishes,
Isabelle
Some highlights from my visualization: the room is full of light, maybe an atrium. My daughter and granddaughter are there, friends I made later in life are there, people who I mentored in their youth and who are now grown are there. My daughter is grateful for my unconditional love and support, for setting a good example of a strong, independent woman. My friends are grateful to have had me during times of sorrow as well as times of celebration. The people I mentored are grateful that I was their ally and helped them break barriers. There is cake and champagne.
