#65 – What do you want just for yourself?
Share
The scent of melted chocolate fills the air as Lily steps into the workshop. Her husband Ben is busy tempering a rich, dark batch, the glossy liquid swirling like art. She watches him for a moment, then turns to the shelves lined with neatly wrapped bars—each a labor of love.
Once, she has been just as involved. In the early years of their chocolate company, she has loved brainstorming new flavors, designing packaging, and crafting fun marketing campaigns. But then life has happened. The kids needed her, and somehow, over the years, her role has quietly shifted to the background.
Until now.
Lily has been thinking a lot lately—about goals, about passion. About what she wants, just for herself. And the answer is right in front of her: chocolate and marketing.
Maybe it is time to step back in. To take a bigger role in their business. Or—what if she starts something of her own? A webshop on the side, selling handcrafted chocolate gift boxes, DIY kits, or even digital guides on hosting the perfect chocolate-tasting party.
Excitement bubbles in her chest. It isn’t just about work. It is about building something. Something she can be proud of.
Ben turns to her, eyebrows raised. “You’ve got that look.”
Lily grins. “I think I have an idea.”
And for the first time in a long time, she feels it. That spark. That hunger. That first taste of ambition coming back to life. How about you? Do you have a passion? Challenge yourself.
