Hi, my name is Birgit, and this is my journey…

I had my ups and downs in life, just like everyone else. But overall – life is good. I am blessed and I am grateful. I am from Austria, but live in Australia. I am in my mid 40ties and I am sure that I have 50 % of my life still ahead of me. I am happily married. Happy with my family and friends and with my life overall. But something is missing … this nagging feeling that I am not living my life’s purpose. I feel I am stuck in an unsatisfying office job, struggle with my weight and dream of making a difference in this world.

But before I can help anyone I have to help myself first, and live my life to the fullest first, right? I have read so many books, listened to CD’s, watched DVD’s, attended seminars … the list is endless. I should know it all by now, one would think. I believe I am smart, I understand what all those motivational speakers are trying to tell me, I fully believe it, I do (sort of) practice it, but I am not there yet … Why? Is my question. Why is it so difficult to change? What is stopping me?

I may now have found the answer and I am ready to change, let the journey begin. …

I have decided to blog about my journey and my progress, to keep myself on my toes and let’s assume, that I am not the only one out there, feeling stuck, not living my life’s purpose, not completely fulfilled within myself, then, if it works for me, maybe I am able to help others and in doing so, doing my part to make this world a better place.
