I gained clarity about what I'm supposed to do with my life

Quick summary

Kartika discovered she was forcing herself to hold on to burnout while trying to help humanity. Through Lifebook, she gained clarity about her life's purpose and realized she needed to surround herself with appreciative people rather than those who only took from her.

Before Lifebook, I thought life is supposed to be hard if you want to do it in a politically right manner (not being rude, mean, or doing other bad things to gain happiness). Because of Lifebook, I realized that I was actually forcing myself to hold on to the burnout. So now, I gained clarity about what I'm supposed to do with my life! [Why I decided to enroll in Lifebook] I knew that I was born for something big, that I was supposed to help humanity. Knowing that it's a difficult and long journey, I forced myself to work blindly hard and voluntarily. I was beginning to hate my life while forcing myself to do good all the time, thinking that the rewards will eventually come in the long run. I saw that the lifebook categories are separating between financial and career category, so that intrigues me to find out what I was doing wrong, since nobody is appreciating me for the massive work that I was doing alone that was actually helping people improve their lives. Turns out I was missing in the social life area. I'm supposed to be with people who are appreciative, rather than just using me for free knowledge, consultation and for them being able to improve their lives, without being there when I needed help. [Three biggest achievments] Self-actualization, realizing the hard truth, understanding that health holds an important part of life and happiness.
