Step outside yourself for a second and pretend you are the person sitting next to you. What advice would that person say to you right now?

Question

The person sitting next to me would say, 'You're really good at solving problems for this company. But I can see that you're not motivated and you're frustrated with how your role is changing. Maybe you should set aside some time to solve the problems you're having with your job before you give any more time to other people's problems.'

I love this! The person sitting next to me would say, 'Wow you look so happy.  Your time away from work has been restorative and inspiring. But, what do you want to do now? You are in full possession of your strengths—how are you going to overcome your self-imposed fears and barriers and create a life that both meets your needs and nourishes your heart?'

And I'd be like, 'super insightful stranger, we should grab a coffee and talk because you dang tooting right about that.' Haha :)

'You are smart and more talented than this role gives you credit for.  Do the best you can each day but know that this is a stepping stone to the next big thing.'

Oh boy, right this second? I'm stressing about all the emails in front of me and have been sitting and my desk since this morning. So - I think I hear my dad's voice talking to me.

'Kaleana, are you an emergency open heart surgeon?' 
'No, Dad...' 
'Well, then no one's life depends on your work right now. Go take a break, and you can get back to work in 20 minutes.'

'You seem like you already know what you want to do? You're confident enough about your skills - what's stopping you? You have nothing to lose and you have absolutely nothing to fear.'
