Asleep at the Wheel
by By Coach Tee
You ever look up and realize you’ve been coasting? Like, really think about it—when was the last time you were in the driver’s seat of your own life?
Not just going through the motions. Not just checking boxes or doing what’s expected. I’m talking about living on purpose, not by default.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, stuck, or like your life is happening to you instead of because of you… sis, you might be asleep at the wheel.
And it happens. You take care of everybody. You’ve been showing up for work, for family, for your responsibilities—but when was the last time you showed up for you?
Autopilot feels safe. Predictable. It’s the routine we cling to because change is scary and decision fatigue is real. But autopilot doesn’t lead to fulfillment. It just keeps the lights on.
At some point, you realize you need to snap out of it.
You have goals collecting dust, dreams you keep pushing “just a little further out,” and talents you’ve downplayed because life got loud and it was just easier to tell yourself that the things you wanted were out of reach anyway. But your life is still yours. And it’s waiting on you to take the wheel.
Because the truth is, no one’s coming to rescue you from a life you never asked for. And no one’s going to force you to live the one you actually want. That’s your job.
So if this is your wake-up call–good. Stretch. Breathe. Start the ignition. And don’t just ride—drive.
It’s okay if you don’t know exactly where you're going yet. What matters is that you’re willing to stop drifting. Click here to start figuring out your path.
