Hi Lisbeth
I think maybe we need to refind ourselves many times in our life . I have always felt so privileged to do the work I do- not many people work their vocation every day if their lives – but recently there has been some shift in my thinking – I no longer want to do this work, it doesn’t bring the fulfilment it once did and I feel that emptiness – that lacking a sense of purpose .

Perhaps selling your house is a step too far but perhaps not !
Try doing this – close your eyes and remember a time you felt complete happiness and contentment – it could be recently or decades ago . Now stay in the moment and take in the sights , smells and sounds .what were you doing , who were you doing it with ? This might help you find what you would really like to do or at least identity what you might like to do as a hobby.

I came across a quote by Oprah today

“do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do”
Of course Lizbeth perhaps you are doing just enough and being just enough but with our self esteem issues we cannot see that ?

I hope you feel a lot more positive !
