Lawyers, Are You Listening When Life Whispers?

Someone I spoke with recently looked up after 10 years at the same job and said "I can't imagine doing this for another 10."

That moment hit me because it's so easy not to look up.

We get busy. We get comfortable. We tell ourselves we'll make a change when things calm down.

Then another year goes by.

And another.

Until one day, a decade passed, and we realize this version of success we built isn't one we actually want to keep living.

I've known him since law school. For him to see one of my posts, feel that spark of recognition, and send a message saying, "I think I need help." That's the crucial part. That's the moment things shift.

Momentum doesn't start with a grand plan. It starts with a single action.

And the truth is, those little moments of frustration, restlessness, or curiosity?

They are not inconveniences.

They are invitations.

When you feel that internal nudge, that's life calling at you to take action. Even just to admit something's off, so listen. Then act.

Take a peek at a job posting.

Reach out to a mentor.

Or call a coach.

Are you listening to these hunches when they whisper?

Or waiting as life passes by.
