I Reached Burnout In My Career

Burnout Point

By: FallenAngelWOOT

Written on February 19th, 2013

Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to be successful. She studied hard, got qualifications and then a career job.
Looking younger than she was she suffered from the compulsion to prove herself to all people. This led to a spiral of working harder until she was successful, well regarded and earning a good salary.
One day she woke the **** up and realised that she'd neglected her own needs and spent her whole life doing things for other people and actually didn't have something mysterious called 'a life'.

In our world, it takes time to stem out our innermost desire through the overlapping cobwebs of wants and so-called-needs.
Awareness is just the first step.
Roll up your sleeves for some meaningful actions and decisions.
Let love lead you and see you through...
Before you know it, you are living a real happy life - ever after. (",)

  Lots of people do, sadly. So congrats on seeing it and getting out early enough to turn things around. :)

she could have led a successful life and a fruitful life. many people do it. she need not repent that her is wasted. this story reeks of something unnatural element.
