On The Brink Of Change?
Have you ever been on the brink of change?
I’ve been there several times across my career, business, health, and relationships.
We may feel anxious, uncertain, and overwhelmed. For me at least, the key to navigating these moments has been to find clarity and trust myself.
How about you?
Three reflections for the next time we go through change:
1. Understanding our thoughts.
It’s important to recognise our thoughts for what they are; just thoughts. They aren’t necessarily true or false; they’re just ideas we have about the situation at hand.
We need to be able to take a step back and observe our thoughts without judgment in order to gain clarity and make decisions that are right for us.
Try writing down your thoughts as soon as you have them so that you can examine them more closely without being clouded by emotion.
2. Having patience.
Once we understand our thoughts, it is important to practice patience with ourselves as we wait for clarity.
While it might seem like the answers will never come, trust that they will… but only if we give ourselves the time and space necessary to process what's going on inside of us first.
During this time, stay present in your body while avoiding self-judgment or pushing yourself too hard. Remember that taking care of yourself is the best way to let truth rise up from within you when it's ready to be seen and heard.
3. Making decisions from clarity.
There may still be some uncertainty, but when your gut tells you something is right for you, I have faith in my intuition. How about you?
As visionary change-makers, having clarity during times of transition is essential for making decisions that align with our goals and values while also caring for ourselves in the process.
I’d love to hear your reflections too.
Keep thriving,
Behrooz, The Entrepreneur's Doctor

About The Show
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
- Howard Thurman
Do you ever feel like you're swimming upstream, trying to make a difference in the world? What if there was a way to break through these blocks?
You're one insight away...
For years, Dr Behrooz Behbod, The Entrepreneur's Doctor, was what you might call a high achiever. He dedicated his life to improving population and planetary health and wellbeing, pursuing education and training at some of the most prestigious institutions in the world.
Yet even the most talented among us can succumb to burnout, and that's exactly what happened to Behrooz in 2020.
For two long years, he was functioning, but on the inside, he felt stuck and no longer able to create the positive impact he had always planned for. He was afraid that he would no longer feel fulfilled and truly happy.
Then one day, a single insight changed everything.
That insight is best described by Howard Thurman's message:
"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
Since discovering the power of transformative insights, Behrooz has been helping fellow entrepreneurial leaders to unlock the insights we need to create positive impact, both in our lives and in the world.
