I have been in the wrong room…
Have you ever found yourself being in the wrong room?
Now, what do I mean by the wrong room?
A few weeks ago, I was in a business planning session, and the top 3 sentences running through my mind constantly sounded like this:
- 🤷♀️What am I doing here? I couldn´t care less about these topics.
- 🤷♀️Oh, it could be so interesting if now we would discuss how the brain works, why we are how we are, why we feel what we feel and how to improve ourselves.
- 🤷♀️Why am I still here? How did I get here?
It was a lovely atmosphere and great colleagues, but I didn´t feel like I belonged there, as I couldn´t care less what strategy we will have next year for this and that.
How did I get there? Now I know how — by not having a vision in my life early on, by not taking time to reflect on what I like, dislike, want, or don´t want. By not knowing anything about goals creation, having a vision for one’s life. Like many of us, I was running on autopilot, following what many people follow, and not taking time off to reflect and change.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to stop and reflect, to focus my mind on the activities, that would matter to me, that would make me feel fulfilled at what I do.
You might ask, so if I did that, why I was still in the room, that didn´t feel right for me?
Because I want to do it my way. Because I don´t want to stress, be anxious, or think if I will have enough money to pay the bills. Until I complete building my “own room”, I stay in the other room as well. Because it is a nice one, with great tasks, good colleagues, career potential, and most of all — peace of mind.

I´m so proud of what I´m creating. This occupation gives me so much: fulfillment, higher purpose, inspiration, a sense of growth, and a feeling of being a part of something bigger than just myself.
Do you find yourself in the “wrong room” as well? Why does it feel wrong? What do you think when being there?
And do you do something to get into the other room? Or maybe you want to build your own?
Need inspiration, encouragement, a plan or strategy, or just someone to keep you accountable? Message me and find fulfillment in your unique way.
With love,
Someone, who is building her fulfillment room.
