For the first time in over twenty years, I can actually say that I wake up totally excited to greet the day

Quick summary

After years of feeling unfulfilled despite outward success, Julie discovered what was missing from her life equation: herself. Through Lifebook, she broke free from societal conditioning and now wakes up excited to greet each day for the first time in over twenty years.

My entire life I’ve felt like something important was missing. I’ve always had a kind heart for people, determined drive, a good work ethic and ambition, but I kept falling short. It was as if I didn’t have the tools needed to achieve my goals without a crazy amount of frenzy and stress. I consistently felt exhausted, overwhelmed, and as if my life would always be ant-climatic. I worked really hard to be a good wife, a good parent, a good friend, a good business partner, and a contributing member of my community, which is all very admirable, but I still felt unfulfilled. I felt as though something very important to my life equation was missing. Here I was, a blessed mother and wife, with incredible friends and a fairly successful business, living in a beautiful area of the world feeling unfulfilled. I felt like an ungrateful jerk by not feeling as though I had it all. Then Lifebook came along. Thanks to the support of John and Missy, I was able to realize what was missing in my life equation. It was me, I was missing. Every facet of my life was being driven by external cues constructed by a society that celebrates mediocrity and compliance, rather than internal cues created by my wants, needs, and desires to achieve the best life I can for both myself, and my loved ones. I was in constant conflict with who I am as a person and who society wants me to be. This realization was an incredibly pivotal moment in my life that I will never forget! By not acting upon my wants, needs, and desires to achieve what I deem to be excellence in my life, I was left feeling empty, and a bit lonely to be honest. I didn’t feel understood, or valued as a result of checking off someone else’s boxes. Through the lifebook program I was able to get to know myself better, and immerse myself more fully into a growth mindset that is underpinned by an amazing knowledge of abundance; this mindset has set me free from the chains of societal conditioning. For the first time in over twenty years, I can actually say that I wake up totally excited to greet the day; I wake up with a heart full of love and gratitude. I’m finally moving in a direction that supports who am as a multifaceted human being. Words cannot express my gratitude towards John and Missy. I thank you, and my loved ones thank you, for helping me through this triumphant transformation. I am finally becoming the champion I was born to be.
