I Feel Inadequate

My friend was talking about her plans for future, of the exam she is giving in a few months, preparations and all. It's like she has her whole life planned out, she knows what exactly she wants from life.

It's now making me feel inadequate. I'm happy for her, but now i feel like i'm stuck here, i have no purpose, i don't know and i don't want to know where life is taking me. Like going with the flow. I've been fine with it in the last year and a half, life gave me a few nice surprises along the way too. But now talking to her makes me wonder if i should look for something, plan out my life, find something purposeful or meaningful. It makes me wonder if not having everything planned is worth it or not.

I have no idea.

Some people are planners, and some people allow life to just happen. You say that you've been happy with your life. It sounds like the only negative is that you've compared yourself to someone who isn't like you, and now feel you should be like her. There's really no need to do that. You've already got a life that's working. Don't sabotage it just because someone else does things differently.

Different things work for different people. :)

NO one has anything figured out, most of people who plan every detail of their lives, make it boring and get really frustrated if anything doesn't go according to the plan, so do not worry, enjoy life and learn to appreciate the surprises that come with it, learn to recognize a good opportunity and the most important thing, set a goal, which you can change the method, but never the goal until you accomplish it.

I have been there and to see a friend who knows where they're going what they're doing and we have no clue hurts. Let me tell you from experience. I was in the same way. Through cleansing work and spiritual healing my blockages and traumas are gone and for the first time in my life and I'm 62, I am living my life free and clear, I know my purpose and where I'm going and gave found true love for the first time ever, so never, never lose hope. I am a living example of hope!

That's the way i want to live life. But people like her and my mom have everything so planned out that it makes me feel i'm wrong to enjoy life, that i have to plan it out in detail. I will try though to live like its the last day.
