The Heir

You are someone who has taken what was given to you and made something impressive from it.

Description

You are responsible, considered and you have honoured the expectations around you in ways that have had huge positive effects in your life. You work hard, you show up and the life you have built reflects a great deal of genuine effort and commitment. There is real substance to what you have created even though initially you had to adapt to the materials you were handed.

The tension is that the blueprint you have been following was drawn up before you had any say in the design. The career, the direction, the version of success you have been working towards may have been handed to you before you were old enough to choose it for yourself. You have caught plenty of carrots you were told that you were supposed to be chasing. The question worth sitting with is whether you would have even chased those particular things if you had decided what is important to you in the first place.

This is not about tearing anything down. It is about asking, perhaps for the first time, what you would build if the choice were entirely yours. If nobody could judge you.
