Are You The Tortoise Of Your Dreams? Be Proud Of It!

This is my biggest learning after becoming a mother! ๐๐ผ
Before my pregnancies, I had the luxury to work 10 hours a day. Yes, luxury! I loved every job I did & I always found my work to be meaningful. Iโve worked for 5 years in construction & fin-tech industries before taking a 180โข degree turn to being a life coach. And before my pregnancies, I never had a โtime limitโ at work.
But things are different for me after being a mom. Even when my entire family and support system steps up and gives me the liberty to go and work - I still wonโt take up that option. I WANT to be around my children. Clearly, my priorities have shifted. But I couldnโt make peace with the fact that I canโt work for long hours in a day. Because obviously, long hours meant more results.
Last four years was a journey of acceptance for me. From struggling to accept that I canโt spend long hours at work to giving positive and empowering meanings to going slow at work.
Today, Iโm that proud tortoise ๐ข who moved strategically but slowly towards her dreams one day at a time. Honestly, tortoise is fast sometimes, maybe Iโm a sloth ๐ฆฅ (the slowest animal). But a proud one!
Am I perfect? No.
Did I move forward significantly? Absolutely, yes!
And thatโs all that matters to me.
If you are in a similar journey, I feel you and totally respect you!
If you are in the same boat, don't be shy to take 'one day at a time' and embrace your baby steps towards your dreams! Good luck lady!
Today, spend some time to introspect whether you are the hare ๐ or tortoise ๐ข in your story? And do you feel on track with that?
