Creating Impact When You’re Overwhelmed

Our lives can be chaotic and overwhelming, and we can feel like we’re struggling to stay afloat. We feel behind, stressed, distracted, undisciplined, unworthy.

And in the middle of all of this, we want to do our meaningful work.

We want to create an impact.

How can we find focus and create some kind of meaningful impact in the face of this chaos and overwhelm?

I’m not here to claim it’s easy. I face it every day. But what I am here to say is that it’s possible. In fact, not only is it possible, it’s amazing — it feels even more meaningful because of the difficulty of doing it in chaos and uncertainty.

I manage to do it almost every day (some days I take a rest!) — and more than that, there are people in my programs that inspire me with what they’re able to accomplish in lives that can feel like they’re falling apart.

Let’s talk about how that might look, and some key principles.

  1. Hi Pascal,
    From someone who is currently living in that bubble of not knowing If I am on the right part, not knowing if I am doing the right & smart things, always thinking of what next to do to get to where I feel I need to be, being made to think I am aiming too high or being too ambitious (this is stale as I don’t really care, though the talks get to one sometimes), I do believe it’s all so possible. That is my only conviction.
    I might be wrong, I might not be…
    I’d rather keep trying.
    It’s just hard sometimes.
    State of the country is not helping either.
    The imposter syndrome is another story for another day.
    Thank you for sharing. #Iconnect.

    1. I think ‘not trying’ is the real crime. Whatever you want to achieve, put your mind to it then try and try again till it is achieved.
