According to Osho, when you stop identifying with your professional role, the outer standards of success lose their grip, creating a painful limbo that is really a birth pain. Redirected inward, this crisis becomes a decisive turning point: the pursuit of having yields to the discovery of being. In knowing yourself, you are reborn into peace, bliss, and the only real success—inner ecstasy.
When you stop thinking you are your job, it may feel scary and empty at first, but it’s the beginning of finding your real self and a calmer, deeper happiness.
