Life Changing Career counseling

I'm tired. I'm overworked. I'm nauseous. I'm running on very little sleep.
Despite all these factors, for the first time in my life, I'm feeling hopeful. I'm starting to feel like I have a purpose. A purpose to help me discover more about myself and what I want to do with the remaining 80 or so years I have left in my lifetime.
My career counseling has been going well... better then well. I've discovered a lot, and become true to myself. I've had breakthroughs regarding my life, my schooling, my choices and where I'm at now. I've realized that I've accomplished a lot in my life, and haven't given myself a 'break'. I've spent so much wasted energy on what I haven't done, about choices that I've made without the knowledge I have about myself now (and beating myself up about it) and that what I've done up to this point in my life has not been a 'waste' of time. Most importantly, my life has not been a waste. It's been rewarding.
I thank my lucky stars for making that phone call on August 3, 2005. Shirin has been so helpful in defining me, my aspirations, and my thoughts on different subjects/skills/fields. I'm about 80% sure about making a decision regarding my next career choice. I've decided to do some more investigation into possible career choices prior to deciding on what it is I want to do. I want to give other careers a fair 'shake' before deciding on what I'm about to decide.
One thing I've developed through these sessions is a lot of patience. I've learned that my anxiousness to 'just make a decision' has perhaps not been the best way to go about things. Although I still (very much) do not enjoy making potentially life changing decisions, I must take the time to research, evaluate and relate them to me and others prior to making them.
If you wanted to take a look at her website (I've been told it's at a bare minimum right now) you can find it here.
If you wanted to ask me any questions about what we've done, or if you're wondering if it's for you, drop me a comment.
Shirin, in my humble opinion, comes highly recommended!
