Do you feel reasonably successful in your career but not totally fulfilled? Do you feel like there must be more to life than this? Do you feel you aren't following your life dreams? Chances are you're feeling stressed, tired and disillusioned with life in general. Well you're not alone, an increasing percentage of the population also feels just like you do. In a recent survey almost 50% of people said they felt like 'life is a treadmill and they can't get off.'

In today's fast-paced, multi-value and ever changing society it's hard to keep on top of things and most people let their lives happen rather than planning their lives. Many people spend days and weeks writing business plans and doing budgets for companies, but virtually no time doing these things for their own life. Careers may be planned, but they begin to take over and many people are now questioning more than ever what really matters in their lives.

Most of them have been doing more or less the same work for quite a few years and are bored or are feeling their work isn't fulfilling them and giving them purpose. It can be a very confusing time - they feel like something is missing from their lives but can't put a finger on it. They would love to do something else with their lives - if only they knew what it was!
