If you're consistently failing at the same thing over and over again, you might be trying to force something that, ultimately, isn't you.

I know this from painful personal experience. For years, I desperately tried to reinvent myself as a "cool" outsider, only to feel more lost and frustrated than ever. It wasn't until I embraced my authentic self - a nerdy outdoorsman - that I finally found peace and purpose.

When you find yourself in this place, it's time for a total life reexamination: where are you taking yourself and why?

This probably feels pretty daunting, but I'm going to break it down for you now.
