    • You know, my god, when i read this i got goose bumps

      couple of months ago, i was chatting with my boss at work.. and he asked me:" So,,, what are you future career plans??".. he expected me to go on and on about what i want to do and plan to do.. but i just looked at him empty looks and told him.. .." .. when i was in high school.. i was looking forward for University.. and when i was in University .. i was looking forward for work.. and now that i am working.. i couldnt be more clueless on what exactly do i want.. ".. he smiled.. with sympathy. ...... The last thing i needed


      You can probably tell now why i got the goose bumps from reading this card

      Not only was i clueless, but frustrated and worn down
      Personally, since high school,. there was some unknown thing that was obstructing my path to satisfaction and acceptance with myself.. preveting me from being heartly happy

      I thought that its high school...but this EXACT feeling came with me to University.. strange !!! and now its strangling me as a working pesron

      Too late, though i did find out that the thing which was - and still is - making me unhappy and unsatisfied with myself... the thing that i was trying to escape all those years without knowing what it is and why is it still there no matter where i go or what i do

      is me

      not accepting your self and being happy with your self the way you are.. will prevent you from living each day the way you should.. because you'll never feel good enough to enjoy your life the way you should

      yes.. appreciate your present situation
      I'll have to totaly agree with that
      And always "die for" the best to happen to you.. and the best is to love your life and yourself with all your faults and rights.. and embrace them too.


    • Oh my God... are you serious??? I also had that feeling but it was very long long time ago when I was in primary school, grade 9.. when I completed it and was about to go to secondary school, I learned something from someone, that we do have short-term and long-term goals and we will never stop wanting things because that's the nature of human beings

      But then I was also thinking, OK til when Im going to be wanting things, of course forever.. so I decided to work on what I have now and live the TODAY for TODAY, without stressing too much about future, nor past.. looking forward is a positive things, but let's never forget to live... let's do all what are required to do without forgetting ourselves.. yes dear you are right that we should always be happy with what we are doing.. but to some extent we will have to be unhappy because that feelings is what is pushing us to do better work... I do believe that there is much more interesting things to do in this that I havent came across yet, and I will forever be eager to know about them

      I appreciate your comments so much dear and thanks heaps for sharing with us your thoughts and feelings.. makes me feel more comfortable being in such virtual community with real feelings

      Cheers
