Unbecome the things you aren't so you can be who you are meant to be.

And that is the quote of the day.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show.

I'm your host Sean Crox and the Sean Crox and dot com.

Today's episode is brought to you by the Jurf just eat real food bar available at Jurf bar.com as well as on Amazon.

Today we've got a brand new speaker cake drummond on the show.

And all you know what recently I've been playing less Ted talks because I don't know sometimes they don't feel as powerful as some of the professional motivational speakers that I feature here.

But when I listen to this talk, I was like, I love this. I've got to play this because I love stories of people who are in a certain reality.

And they're feeling that feeling like, oh, this isn't what I really want to do. I want to go and do that.

That is what I truly desire. And they just work up the courage and they get to the point where they have to take the leap.

And so I hope you enjoy this one. Here's Kate drummond.

Three years ago, just three years ago, my days looked very different.

I was an elementary school teacher. I'd been teaching for 12 years in Ottawa.

Every day I packed my lunch with five pieces of low fat turkey deli meat, one fat free yogurt, one apple, and I ate it every day at 945, 1105 and 210.

I taught seven subjects a day, day in and day out. I coached. I ran workshops for the board. I mentored student teachers.

Everything. People knew me as a respected leader and a generous colleague. And I loved that. I loved teaching. I loved it. It was my life. It was me.

And not only was my professional life boom or my professional life booming, but so was my personal life.

I had a solid relationship, a big house, big backyard, an extra VIP, whatever you call it, cable package with a slightly overcompensating 60 inch TV.

I was hosting dinner parties for friends and hanging skeleton lights above my door for Halloween. And life was moving forward as it was supposed to.

My family was proud. And I was happy until I wasn't.

Behind closed doors, I started to detach from my life. I couldn't explain my distance. I put a brief face on for my students and the rest of the world, but inside every day I was growing more and more sad.

I spent a fortune on self-help books and workshops and techniques to snap me out of it. And every night I would lie in bed and stare at the ceiling and say, please give me the answer as to why I am unable to feel content when nothing is wrong.
