The happiness formula, midlife crisis, "getting there"
Do you want to be happy?Great. I got the formula... Stop wanting. More specifically, stop being attached to what you want. That's it. Your un-happiness "lives" in the gap between: → Wanting something you don't have Or → Having something you don't want ☘️ Happiness is reality minus expectations. ☘️ Happiness is finding peace with where you are. Do you find it hard to imagine not getting 'exactly' what you want? If yes, that's your work. Or you can hire a coach to help you get 'exactly' what you want. That's not me. And that's not personal freedom work. Which is what I champion for myself and others. Midlife crisis happens oftenAnd here’s why it’s actually a positive thing… In going through a midlife crisis you get to:
Everything we go through in life - including identity crises - happens “for” us. Platitude? Yes Truth? Yes You are doing amazing! You will never "arrive"Here's why (this is an unchangeable eternal truth)... Or will you be present for who and what IS, not WILL BE? Blissful Sunday 💚 If you are struggling with any of the things I mentioned in this email I can offer help in one of three ways: ⇒ You can watch my complimentary "Discover our purpose in 24 hours or less" video guide ⇒ You can buy my Authenticity Mini-course to quickly and organically lower your insecurities ⇒ Or you can discover and eliminate your biggest source of self-sabotage during Freedom Week If you are ready feel free to choose one of those three options - whatever you are comfortable with. If not - have a blessed weekend. IvanNikolov.com | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook |

Reader, I've made a decision... This is the last email I am sending to you. Here's why: My KPI these days is: Sense of satisfaction per unit of time (usually minutes) Honestly, I am no longer getting enough sense of satisfaction/fulfillment from crafting these emails every Sunday. Every week, I feel like I'm screaming into an empty, bottomless well. What I put together might be of value to some (and maybe to you). But I don't know about it. These days, I get far more fulfillment and...
What am I doing with my life? When a person is forced to ask this question, they usually feel they have only two choices: One, abandon their current pursuits which they no longer resonate with ...but fear that if they do, they'll no longer desire and achieve like before In other words, they feel they'll resign from life (as they know it 😉) Or Two, they turn a blind eye to the question and stay out of alignment by continuing with their current pursuits ...of goals and aspirations they no...
Reader, This is the most depressing question. Or is it? Could it be ultimately the most liberating? I'll argue that it is. Two years ago, I had a coaching call with someone I know well. At that point, I would have qualified him as an ambitious overachiever. Not only did he have huge ambitions. He also had huge standards for himself. If he didn't achieve according to his standards, he'd be hard on himself. As usual, his standards arose from witnessing other overachievers crush big goals....
