What are your feelings regarding the responsibilities described above? Check all that apply. *

I am generally happy and satisfied with my situation, but I do want to make some refinements / improvements.

Sometimes I feel happy and satisfied and other times I feel stressed, frustrated, or overworked.

I am extremely stressed, frustrated, and/or overworked. I sometimes feel like I am reaching a breaking point.

I am bored and dissatisfied. I don't feel proud or excited about my life.

I am grateful for what I have, but I just feel like there is something much more inspiring I was "meant" to be doing with my life. I don't feel like I am living my purpose. I need help figuring out what I was meant to be doing.

I know exactly who I am and what I was born to be doing, but somehow along the way, my life got off track and I ended up doing something different. I need help getting from where I am to the place I know I need to be.

It would be so easy for me to live my life purpose, it's just that my responsibilities to others (family obligations, debts, peer pressure, etc) is holding me back and keeping me from living my passion.

Think of your 3 to 5 closest friends or relatives - the people who know you best in the world. Now imagine I interviewed each of them to find out what makes them pick up the phone and call you. What would they say?
