"I have a more positive mindset as well as a clearer vision"

Right before Lifebook, I was going through another depressive period during which I couldn't get out of bed except for one meal a day for close to three weeks (and I have those meals because I'm still living with my family and my father basically forced me up). I am so glad that I came across and signed up for Lifebook before that period of time. The reason I signed up was that I had been trying to leave my current job in a business company for almost three years and ended up signing up for a 1-year part-time contract twice due to low self-esteem in striking out on my own as a freelancer and an educator. I had felt completely stuck, stagnated, for over 6 years. And while I'm very grateful for my loving extended family, their opinionated attitude over my life didn't help either.
Thanks to the accountability program (i.e. the refund), I only started the program 2 weeks late, and just managed to catch up to the progress. And boy how the program has helped changed my mindset towards all the 12 categories. I used to think that Life Vision is the most important one and all other aspects are just side-kicks; I had had a lot of difficulties getting my ass to work on my health and fitness, my emotional life (even though it's my poorest aspect), my social life, my financials... there are always things that came up that seems to be more urgent and important. I was actually stuck with the emotions category for over a week (which is a very frustrating thing when I was already rather behind) before I had a lightbulb moment (the thought that I am an imperfect person living in an imperfect world) that not only helped me power through the whole Lifebook Online but also makes my whole life in general look less stressful and insurmountable. 
And now, I feel like that I have a more positive mindset as well as a clearer vision of what exactly do I think my best would be in the next 5 years. And perhaps more importantly, I have finally figured out a possible way to set boundaries with my family while still maintaining a close relationship with them. There's always a way.
