Pushed Out
NOTE: The following is a rant that swings between calm facts and intense emotions. Dear Boss, I know there’ve been several occasions when I’ve told you about my depression and anxiety issues and specifically how they affect me at work. I’ve particularly expressed the need to have office space away from the classroom where I can control the light and noise exposure to reduce the sensory input, which is why I’ve been so glad to have an office for the last several years. Your predecessor comprehended that and fiercely defended my right to keep an office. He had my back on that. You threw me under the bus and tossed me out of the office space.

The Psychological Cost of Chasing Success. . AI-Generated.
Success is the ultimate goal we’re told to pursue. From a young age, we’re taught that working hard, staying focused, and pushing past obstacles will eventually bring the rewards we seek: financial freedom, recognition, and personal satisfaction.

Desire
Have you ever heard the story of the lion and the gazelle? The gazelle needs the lion to chase it to run; without the threat, it stops. Many people live their lives like gazelles, constantly waiting for an external push to motivate them. But what happens when that push isn't there? They do nothing. It's not because they lack talent or skills, but because their character isn't strong enough to sustain them. Remember, your talent can take you places, but only your character will keep you there.
