Is This Still Mine? A Mid-Year Check-In for Career Alignment
There’s something deeply powerful about the midpoint of the year. It asks us not just to keep going — but to check in. To re-evaluate the goals we set in January. To ask, do these still feel like mine?
Because the truth is: not everything you committed to six months ago still fits who you’ve become.
You’ve changed. Quietly, without ceremony. And it’s okay to reorient.
When Your Goals Don’t Fit Anymore
At the start of the year, we often set goals with optimism, clarity, and a heavy dose of pressure. They may have reflected who you were in that moment — or who you thought you needed to be.
But seasons shift. Priorities evolve. And so do we.
The deeper question becomes: Are the goals I’m still chasing based on my current values, or old stories?
When you feel resistance, it’s worth asking:
Is this goal still in service of who I want to be?
Am I pursuing this out of alignment — or obligation?
Is this rooted in desire, or performance?
You’re Not Quitting — You’re Reclaiming
Letting go of a goal isn’t failure. It’s choosing intentionality over inertia.
Real courage is not in pushing through misaligned goals. It’s in editing your path when you realise it no longer reflects your truth.
You are not behind for pivoting. You are wise for noticing.
Try This: A Realignment Prompt
Set a timer for 15 minutes. Answer honestly:
What am I no longer excited about — even if I “should” be?
What part of me set that goal? Ego? Fear? Hope?
What would feel more meaningful now?
Circle the goal that no longer fits. Draw a line through it. Not as an erasure — but as a sign of maturity.
Then choose one new micro-goal that does feel aligned. Small. Quiet. True.
Make Space for the New
When we clear out what no longer fits, we make space for what’s next. Not out of pressure — but out of purpose.
The Grit Club is built around this idea: That success isn’t a fixed definition. It’s a rhythm we redesign as we grow.
If you’re ready to move from old models of success to a version that feels fully your own, the Masterclass can guide you from clarity to structure — without burnout or performance pressure.
