When you are a leader, you have all eyes on you. Whatever you do, whatever you say, you have an audience. Sometimes, you cannot even go to a restaurant without running into someone who knows you professionally. You have to always be “on”, constantly ready to represent your company, your team, your brand. It has taken a long time to get to where you are today, and you do not want to lose it.
But sometimes you just want to go back to when life was simple. When you didn’t have so much stress and so much responsibility. You want to remember what it is like not to have everyone know who you are. Not have to be perfect all the time. You know other people in the same position, other leaders just like you. But you can never really fully let your guard down with anyone. Never fully tell them all your problems.
So, when a problem does come up, you feel all alone. You feel this pressure for your life to be perfect, and you know it is not. So, you try to hide those difficult and hard things in your life, try to deal with them on your own. And sometimes that works, but not always, and not now.
Now imagine that you are walking down the beach listening to the waves, and all you can think about is how proud you are for everything you have achieved. You rose from the flames to become even stronger than before, and you realize that you can have it all, at home and work. Life means living to the fullest, and you are not going to let anything stand in your way of real happiness.
