Having discovered so many facets of my identity, feeling empowered and determined, I took a step back to take stock of my life. I had returned to work after my stress leave with a new attitude. With my new eyes, I observed the prisons we have all created. I gazed at the confines I had created for myself, and through the bars, I observed the fellow captives around me. I sat with my soul’s purpose to empower and inspire. I had done the goal setting. Now was the action part to embody these in my daily life. One thing I knew for certain: my work on myself was not done.

Stressed out. Burnt out. I was stuck in a loop that seemed to be repeating in my life. I felt domesticated in my thoughts, my life and my choices. At every turn of life I had been met with creative limitations, self imposed or otherwise. Did I really come to this Earth to live out this boring routine? I severely lacked inspiration and drive. I was so burnt out that I didn’t care for those either. One morning I woke up and I was done. A series of repetitive issues in a high stress job just broke me. I stopped caring. I didn’t want this anymore.
