The uncomfortable gap between achievable and unachievable

In trying to make a difference in society, what task have you set yourself… subconsciously?

The other day I heard someone say, “It's not your job to save the world. It's your job to do your part in saving the world.”  

This statement might seem obvious, a cliché even. But it’s worth really checking out how big you have made 'your part'. It's not uncommon that on some level, you expect of yourself to solve the entire problem. However irrational that may sound.

The mental gap, between what you can achieve and what you feel should achieve, makes it hard to feel worthy, and to feel you add enough value.

It can be a persistent, subtle conflict in your gut. A conflict you tolerate because you believe that goes with the territory.

But what if it doesn’t?

What if there is a way you can take on the toughest of challenges in following your ethical compass, and still experience peace of mind. What if this leads to smarter decisions, more focus in who you work with, and a change of strategy that enables you to stay in the game in the long-term, without burning out.
 

It takes a surrender to having no impact. For many changemakers, this is highly counter intuitive (and ditto uncomfortable). Yet, many experience relief too. It can create space to explore what it is you are best at doing.

So, instead of fighting an uphill battle in your head, why not try something different?
