If you ever loved watching a movie, you’ve probably experienced a Character Development Arc.

It’s the entire Hero’s journey in a box – regular life, a challenge, call to adventure, a loss, a learning, a re-ignition, a new way of life.

This is what I call a High Performer’s Arc – a childhood that prepares you for high performance, a value system that thrives on responsibility and pressure, excitement and exhilaration.

And then at some point there is a drop.

The same things no longer excite you. The same strategies no longer seem to be working. The same pressure that used to fuel you no longer does… and now it just begins to feel like a weight, a prison, a jail cell you’ve built around yourself.

Congratulations, this is your new call to adventure!

Where everything you’ve learned about high performance is now completely obsolete and your system is just done with operating from the urgency, and responsibility that used to drive you.

There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s what makes life journey an unpredictable and exciting path!
