I’ve been in numerous professional positions—as an engineer, a manager in a large corporation, a world-class athlete, a business owner and entrepreneur (I’m older than I look!)—and I understand the intensity, pressures and pitfalls of professional jobs.

You may feel that, in your professional role, you have to be the “strong one” and that you shouldn’t have any difficulties of your own. But as much as we hate to admit it, we all have difficulties from time to time and we have moments when we wish we didn’t always have to be so strong. That’s a normal part of being human.
