"I now see myself as a whole, an actual person, with a Life Vision that has 11 more things in it that aren't my career"

I always had a rather clear idea of where my life was going and what my goals were. I got top grades at school and started a very promising medical career. I was 100% in. It defined my entire life. 

About a year ago, I hit a dead end. The job I had chosen and everything I had invested in it had made me seriously ill. 
Now that I'm recovering from an episode of depression, I'm starting to see all the ways in which I am more than just my career. 
I had found all sorts of new interests and hobbies while I was away from work. 

Lifebook was one of those things, but soon enough, it made me reconsider all the things I had always been so sure about, and gave me a whole new perspective. I now see myself as a whole, an actual person, with a Life Vision that has 11 more things in it that aren't my career.

 I am immensely grateful for finally being able to understand that. Looking at my freshly printed Lifebook, I am so excited and can't wait to make it all happen. Thanks so much Jon and Missy!!
