Things that were important to us once don't have to remain important to us forever - the trick is to be aware of the roles and motivations as you go, so you can keep on tuning things. Let me know what I can do to help out. @Ashley: It’s natural.

I've always been one to focus on being the best that I can be or do the best that I can do at whatever particular "thing" I was involved with at the moment, and there was a sense of accomplishment from those achievements. However, I'm starting to wonder what it was all for, or where to go from here. I was so busy focusing on what I was trying to accomplish in the moment that I'm not really sure what to do next or what I want to do. I've been so focused on what I felt like I should do that I lost sight of the fact that it may not necessarily be what I want to do. You stated "you start asking just who you are underneath all that achievement and success." This is exactly where I am right now. I've focused so much time "going throught the motions" that I lost sight of who I was and what was important to me. Now I'm trying to take time to figure that out. Thank you for the inspiration This is a great article, and it made me realize that this is how I’m beginning to feel in my life right now.

I’ve always been one to focus on being the best that I can be or do the best that I can do at whatever particular “thing” I was involved with at the moment, and there was a sense of accomplishment from those achievements.

However, I’m starting to wonder what it was all for, or where to go from here. I was so busy focusing on what I was trying to accomplish in the moment that I’m not really sure what to do next or what I want to do. I’ve been so focused on what I felt like I should do that I lost sight of the fact that it may not necessarily be what I want to do.

You stated “you start asking just who you are underneath all that achievement and success.” This is exactly where I am right now. I’ve focused so much time “going throught the motions” that I lost sight of who I was and what was important to me.

Now I’m trying to take time to figure that out. Thank you for the inspiration
