Post by: fillfran82 on February 09, 2015, 04:48:42 pm
Hello everyone. :wave: :) It's a new year a new you and now we are already in the second month of the new year. :sweat: :o Next thing you know we will be ringing in the new year for 2016. :sweat: :o Time go by so fast right? :) My question for you is will the young you be happy to see where you are now? :sweat: ??? And If not what changes will the young you make to be where you desired? :-\ :sweat: ??? We all think having a great answer for the previous questions will make us have a fulfilling life. However it is the opposite. ??? :o Instead of worrying where you could be just be happy of being. :) ;D :present: :rose: Your thoughts please? ??? :) :D

Great thought provoking topic.

Would my child self be happy with where I am today?  Yes, but she'd be saddened that it took me so long to get here.  :) :-[

I have mused over what my life would be like if things were different.  In fact I've mused over a couple different scenarios, but I wouldn't say I worry about it.  It was an interesting contemplation and it helped me figure out the constants in my life, the things that would have been the same.  :glasses-nerdy: :neutral:

I don't have time to worry about where I could have been, I'm to busy finally living the life I always wanted.  :party:

     Being happy is the point! Many dreams and plans never come true. So, try to be happy any way you can!

I am happy just "being" but find that my existence appears to be devoted/funneled into meeting the needs of others.  I am not really living for me but for the success and well being of my family. I wake up at four thirty in the morning to walk the dogs, feed the dogs, make the kid's lunches ( my lunch), and cleaned up for work by six. I drink a few cups of coffee so that I will remain wide awake and focused for the ten hour shift. I then come home at around four in the afternoon and work until ten or eleven at night at a consulting job out of my home office/study. This schedule goes Monday through Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays I work from five thirty in the morning till nine thirty at night. All of this is for my family.  I give myself ninety minutes of exercise per week but generally only so that I remain healthy enough to fulfill my family's needs. But I am still thankful for "being".

Being happy and content in everything I got is good enough for me. still have lots of plans though.

First of all Thank you ladies for your responses. :heart: :wave: I'm happy you guys are busy living your life. :peace: :heart: Instead of dwelling on the past and what could've been. :highfive: :crybaby2: :rose: My opinion is this if it was ment to be it would've been. Everything happens for a reason. :clover: :rose: :heart: :) I use to live in the past and constantly thinking where my life could've been. :BangHead: :BangHead: I kept thinking about things I could've or should've done differently. :BangHead: :crybaby2: I begin thinking that's not living. Everybody from time to time regreted a decision they've made. The best thing to do is next time it's time to make a decision decide wisely. :thumbsup: :highfive: :rose: Making mistakes is human and it makes life a lot more colorful. :thumbsup: :highfive: :rose: So live with no regrets. :highfive: :D :rose: :wave:
