  It's Dora, and welcome to Wednesday.

  Being a mindfulness teacher in a corporate setting is an interesting dance.

• 00:25

  Should I be climbing the corporate ladder?

• 00:27

  Where does it lead to for someone like me?

• 00:30

  What does it truly mean?

• 00:32

  And what happens when I do arrive wherever it is I'm heading?

• 00:35

  Now what?

• 00:37

  We, us as humans,

• 00:39

  have somehow decided to believe that climbing the ladder will bring us a sense of fulfillment,

• 00:44

  happiness, or contentment.

• 00:47

  Yet, the arrival fallacy is one to be aware of.

• 00:51

  This idea that only when we arrive at a certain place will we feel happy or fulfilled.

• 00:57

  The arrival fallacy,

• 00:59

  the belief that climbing the corporate ladder will bring fulfillment and happiness,

• 01:04

  can often leave us feeling unfulfilled once we arrive.

• 01:08

  What I'm learning is true success lies in redefining our measurements of achievement,

• 01:14

  focusing not only on titles or milestones,

• 01:17

  but on the impact we make in everyday interactions and the meaning we create in our daily lives.

• 01:26

  I had a friend who spent years climbing the corporate ladder.
