Discover the three stages of your career
And know where you are now. Understand why your career isn’t the destination, but only a step before your true calling. And learn why your midlife crisis plays a crucial role in your transition—from a limited version of success (that often comes with burnout) to the epic journey of the second half of life.
If you’re following the modern career path, this 12-step process will help you:
- Identify where you truly stand,
- Uncover the real cause of burnout or depression, and
- Take a crucial step toward overcoming the hidden architect and director of your current reality!
Stage I – Attraction of attention
1. Into the world of adults!
In a shadow-driven society, every person who transitions into adulthood faces a fundamental question:
- How do I navigate the world of adults?
- What strategy should I choose?
At first, survival is the goal. Then, the focus shifts to success, and eventually, to flourishing.
And yet, everyone fails—but why?
Here’s what’s important: you’re entering a process that holds the potential to reveal something few truly understand—the real value of the second half of life.
2. Living Heroes
What makes a career so alluring?
A young person naturally seeks a role model—someone real, someone alive, a living hero. Successful professionals act as beacons of hope, inspiring admiration and desire.
Do you have one?

3. The Gods of Success
Every great religion offers something valuable to believe in. The career path is no different—it promises a better life. The core belief that fuels career ambition is simple:
👉 A good career leads to a good life.
And who doesn’t want a good life?
The religion of career preaches:
- Work hard, be smart, and one day, you will rise among the successful.
The proof?
Look at their lifestyles—the cars, jets, yachts. Who needs a distant, unseen god when heaven can be reached right here on Earth?
Society labels those who reject this path as failures. The temptation is nearly irresistible.
Stage II – Abuse of energy
4. The Career Climb
College is fun, but what really matters is what comes after. The early stages of a career vary, but one thing is universal: everyone wants to climb higher.
Some dive headfirst into the competitive world, fueled by ambition.
Others take a slower route. But sooner or later, everyone enters the game.
Hard work opens doors to new experiences and achievements.
5. The Career Law
All careers, whether in acting, law enforcement, politics, or science, follow a universal rule:
👉 When our career grows, we grow.
New skills, promotions, prestige, expanding social circles—every success reinforces our sense of personal progress.
Our salaries increase. Titles change. Respect from colleagues, friends, and family grows. The system works. We feel powerful. Life makes sense.
The law of career just works!
6. The Initial of Fulfillment
A career provides structure, goals, and security. It allows us to plan for the future and, supposedly, grants freedom.
The logic seems airtight: A good career equals a good life.
We hear countless cautionary tales of aimless drifters and unemployed struggles.
In contrast, a solid career appears to be the ultimate safeguard against uncertainty.
But is it?
Stage III – Destruction of time
7. The First Cracks Appear
No path is without obstacles. Careers bring stress, difficult colleagues, burnout, and fatigue. But this is life, right?
Everyone faces hardships. Bills need to be paid. Kids need schooling.
A mature person accepts the struggles and moves forward.
Yet, for some reason, something begins to feel off.
At this stage, your shadow will provide all sorts of strategies and rationalizations to help you deal with your inner dissonance.
8. When the Law of Career Stops Working
This process is slow, almost invisible at first.
- You feel more tired.
- The drive that once fueled your ambition starts fading.
- Negative thoughts creep in.
- Conflicts at work increase.
- Cynicism sets in.
- Your life energy begins to drain.
At some point, the invisible link between external success and personal fulfillment breaks. The fundamental promise of a career—that success leads to happiness—stops working.
Beyond a certain threshold, higher earnings, more promotions, and greater recognition no longer bring deeper satisfaction. But why?
- Are you considering changing your job or career?
Pay attention—you’re about to enter yet another empty loop!
9. Trapped by the Dark Triad
Why do so many start their careers with excitement and hope, only to hit their forties feeling empty?
Why do professionals who once thrived now seek escape in alcohol, sex, or workaholism? Why do so many end up bored, burned out, or even depressed?
The tragic irony?
👉 The very career that promised fulfillment becomes a prison.
How is it that a career that offers so much becomes a deadly trap?
Are you at this stage already?
Watch out, because your dark triad will now try to ‘help’ you.
10. The Dark Triad’s Solutions to their Manufactured Problems
Once the suffering begins to be unbearable, shadow-driven society rushes in with solutions—but all of them are traps.
- Burnout? Take a vacation.
- Depression? Try therapy.
- Feeling lost? Change jobs, careers or even cities.
What’s wrong with these solutions?
11. The illusion of positive change!
12. Real Solution
Seeking mere change or healing is a path designed by your dark triad: your shadow, ego, and the mind they control.
Every so-called “positive” change, much like every career, follows the same script: (i) attracting your attention; (ii) abusing your energy; and (iii) destroying your most precious time.
Breaking from this reality is only possible through our real self, but that self is currently asleep.
Has your time finally arrived to fight for your true self to be awakened? Only God can do it, and it’s a profound game between you, your dark triad, and God.
