• Are you bored with your personal or family life?
• Do you feel like you are constantly searching for something to fulfill you?
• Do you feel burdened and unchallenged?
• Do you feel discontent with portions of your life even though they once made you happy?
• Do you often feel adventurous and the need to try something very different?
• Do you feel confused about the direction your life is going?
