You’ve Paid Enough
You've done all the things you were supposed to. Shattered glass ceilings. Been the trailblazer. Broken barriers and cycles. You’ve gotten a seat at the table, built the business, and even created new tables.
By all accounts, you're successful. But lately, you've been feeling a pull... wondering: Is this it?
They told us that success costs
But they didn’t tell us how much
So we’ve been paying
Paying
Paying
Trading the moments
The opportunities
To be present
Still
To bask
Relish
in the miracle of being
Alive
For busy-ness and the promise of
What exactly?
More money?
Security?
And now that we have that
We realize all we really want(ed)
Is a life
A spacious,
whole,
free
LIFE
Of less
Less stuff
More substance
Less striving
More stillness
Less success
More significance
You've been paying for success with your life
Waiting for all of our sacrifice to pay off
Waiting for the final invoice that reads “Paid In Full”
So you can breathe
So you can rest
So you can be
But that’s the problem with Success:
It will take as much as you are willing to pay.
Success is a mirage, a false peak after false peak, an illusion that moves farther away the closer you get.
But here’s the beauty of now…
The most powerful realization…
If you stop focusing on success,
The hold it has on you
Releases
And you’ll be free
To slow down
To take in the sights
To delight in the moments
To create
To expand
To breathe
To live
To be
That is what Beyond Success is about.
It is about deciding for ourselves that we have paid Success enough—that we are no longer willing to pay with our lives.
It is about reclaiming and reallocating our energy, empowering us to create the lives we are called to live.
It is about devoting yourself to this new way of being—becoming that version of you who has no balance due, nothing left to pay or prove.
Because it is from that place of freedom, rest, and stillness that we create and live our most meaningful, expansive life of significance.
The magic you've been seeking isn't waiting for you at some distant destination. It's available to you right here, right now—but only when you stop running toward mirages long enough to see it.
If you're done overexerting yourself in the pursuit of success, and you are ready to discover what it means to be fully present to your life now, I'd like to invite you to join me this Wednesday at 1pm EST for Beyond Success: A Live Conversation.
We'll explore why even the most accomplished among us feel this restless longing, and I'll share the path I've discovered from endless striving to deep significance.
This isn't about leaving your career or abandoning your ambitions. It's about learning to be here, fully and unapologetically, while creating the expansive, meaningful life you've been longing for.
Join us.
