There I was in the middle of giving my boss a high five when I realized that stress was going to kill me.

I was acting like I had it all together, but I didn’t.

Truth was, I hadn’t slept much, my head hurt, and I felt so lost and tired.

Back then I believed that non-stop stress was normal and that I had to hustle and work hard to be successful.

I also believed that “I had to do it right.”

It’s like I was constantly trying to prove that I was good enough. And when I realized that I couldn’t take the pressure and stress anymore, I thought that was MY weakness.

I’d followed what I thought to be the route to happiness: Get a good education, a good job, make good money, find a partner, be happy.

But this route led to more sleepless nights than to happiness.

SOMETHING WITHIN ME WANTED TO BE SEEN AND HEARD AGAIN.

I wanted a sense of freedom.

I wanted to feel like me -- the real me that was fun, creative, adventurous, and optimistic. The me who didn’t wear a fake smile or try to be someone for anyone.

Then I heard Wayne Dyer say, “There are no rules in this life” and something in me came alive again.

I knew, on a very deep level, the truth of what he said.

I DIDN’T HAVE TO CONTINUE ON THIS PATH. I COULD CREATE MY OWN RULES.
