Busywork, Burnout, and the Bridge to What You Really Want
At the Crossroads? Build Your Bridge
Have you ever worked so hard, only to feel like you’re spinning your wheels?
The inbox cleared, the tasks checked off — yet inside, you feel drained.
That’s the signal you’re at a crossroads.
Crossroads moments show up when effort alone no longer works. You can’t push your way forward, no matter how disciplined you are. What you need isn’t more effort. You need a bridge.
The First Stones
Most people imagine a bridge as something massive — steel, cables, years of construction. But real bridges begin more simply. With one stone. Then another.
I once had a client describe it like keeping one foot on land and one foot on the boat sailing away. The longer he imagined staying in that split position, the more painful it became.
Change doesn’t have to be dramatic or risky.
It begins with small, steady choices. One stone, then another.
Change doesn’t have to be dramatic or risky. It begins with small, steady choices:
A question you’re willing to ask yourself.
A decision that feels more honest.
A reminder you don’t have to stay stuck.
You don’t need to see the whole design. You only need to place the next stone.
Crossing Over
When you finally step onto the bridge, something shifts.
You’re no longer half-in, half-out.
You’re no longer waiting for the “right time.”
You’re moving forward. And movement changes everything.
It’s not about running away from what you don’t want.
It’s about stepping toward what you do want.
It’s about choosing to become the person you’ve wanted to be all along.
The bridge is already waiting. All you have to do is take the next step.
