You\u2019ll also learn how to find motivation and purpose after your life in the US.<\/p>\n

Are you going home soon after living in the US?<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019ll reflect on yesterday\u2019s episode with Cate Brubaker on how to create a new global life when return home after living abroad.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today is a Deep Thoughts Thursday so we\u2019re going to look at a quote. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here it is:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I let go of who I am, I become what I might be.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

-Lao Tzu<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What does this quote mean for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you let go of the idea of \u201cthe expatriate\u201d as a strong identity that you own, you will create room to actually be who you are when you are back in your home country.<\/p>\n

You will create space to re-create a new life that consists of the activities that you loved about your life abroad.<\/p>\n

This different point of view will empower you and will help you realize that you don\u2019t have to live abroad to be who you are.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have an \u201cexpat identity\u201d?<\/p>\n

How has that made it hard for you to go back to your home country?<\/p>\n

How have you created a global life back in your home country?<\/p>\n

Give us some examples of your ideas and experiences!<\/p>\n

We want to hear from you!<\/p>\n
