"I wanted a miracle. Interestingly enough, I think I got one, but I'm the genie."

I am now clear that if I want meaning and purpose in my life, I have to do the work to discover what is meaningful to me and then do the work to create a life that is meaningful to me. Doggone it! I wanted a miracle. Interestingly enough, I think I got one, but I'm the genie. The 3 biggest benefits achieved thanks to Lifebook: The awareness that I am the change I seek, and I am the agent of that change as well. The awareness that I am a worthwhile and caring person who has lived out other people's opinions instead of out of my inner being. The realization that for me, love is the essence of being, and love is not what I've been taught or believed it was. Love is a way of being absolutely true to who I am at my core, and the word is only a very limited symbol for the reality. The greatest aha for me is that I am significantly unhappy with my life and I think I had been waiting for the universe to change that instead of taking charge of it myself and doing the work necessary to create purpose in my life.
