Have you ever found yourself asking, “What am I even doing here?” It’s a question that came up in a recent deep-dive conversation between Walt and Joel, one that echoed not just in their stories, but in the hearts of anyone who’s worked a job they didn’t love or lost their passion along the way.Walt opened the discussion by sharing greetings and reflections, setting the stage for what unfolded: a frank and thoughtful exploration of what it means to pay attention in a world overflowing with distractions, expectations, and, sometimes, jobs that “tear you apart.”Joel, drawing on his experience as a life coach, challenged the standard narrative of ADHD and distraction. “I don’t have a deficit of attention. I have an abundance. My problem is, where does it go?” he reflected, highlighting how society’s labels often misplace the root of struggle. “Who decides what the right thing is?” Walt pressed, probing deeper into how we judge ourselves and how others judge us for what we focus on.The conversation moved like a river, sometimes gentle, sometimes turbulent. They shared stories of people stuck in lucrative but unfulfilling careers. Joel recounted a client working 6.5 days a week in a data center job he hated, staying only for the paycheck, and mapping out small steps to reclaim his passion for education. Walt mirrored these struggles with stories from his IT days: “I didn’t really love it. It was as if my soul was being ripped apart. But I stayed for the money.”Personal stories drove home a universal truth: too often, we find ourselves chasing security at the expense of happiness, passion, and even health. “Is your happiness more important or the financials?” Joel asked. The answer isn’t always simple, but the process is: Break it down into steps. Take micro-actions. Try new things, even for a single day or hour, to discover what excites you.Walt found new passion in artificial intelligence, a field he’d ignored for years—proving that sometimes, a change of perspective is all it takes to ignite curiosity again. Joel described how step-by-step action plans, especially for those with ADHD, can build confidence and momentum. “When you condition the brain to say, ‘I got this done’, instead of ‘I can’t do anything right’, that’s when everything starts to shift,” he advised.The conversation ended on a life-affirming note: the importance of reframing work, passion, even challenges, as opportunities for meaning and self-discovery. “Your perspective dictates your reality,” Joel repeated. Walt agreed, reminding listeners that black-and-white thinking keeps us stuck, but small steps into the “gray” can make mountains feel moveable.This wasn’t just talk, it was a roadmap for anyone searching for purpose, battling distraction, or craving more meaning in their daily grind. The invitation is simple: ask yourself the big questions, take baby steps, and never underestimate the power of a changed mindset.LOA Today Episode Page: <a href="https://www.loatoday.net/pronoia">https://www.loatoday.net/pronoia</a>Follow the LOA Today podcast:  <a href="https://www.loatoday.net/follow">https://www.loatoday.net/follow</a>#loatoday#lawofattraction#manifesting#vibration#podcast#deliberatecreators#Q&A#waltthiessen#joelelston#Purpose #FindYourPassion #Focus #PersonalGrowth #MindsetMatters #WorkHappiness #ADHD #CareerChange #StepByStep #LifeCoaching
