With the exception of Bill Gates or Oprah most people fail to achieve what the had envisioned for themselves. Even Oprah who one thinks has everything has struggled with her weight and in her personal life. You will have those, "What's next?" moments for the rest of your life. Sometimes you just have to look around and see the positive things in your life, they are there even though they may seem insignificant. You are reaching a corner in your life and you can't see what is on the other side. Take that as a challenge and embrace whatever you find there. I think you will find something special there. Good luck and I hope to see you post soon about something grand that has happened.

I can relate, for me it's fear. I try to remind myself that I have tried things the worlds way and it didn't work, I also see others who are now where I once was yet while my progress is slow it is progress. Others have gone before us and made it. So I must keep pushing forward and only look back to see how far I have come.

And what things are these? Travel? Business? Relationships?

@walabby: For me, the "things" I want are happiness, joy, contentment, ease... My life is spent worrying about the next crisis cause there is always a next one. I can never relax. I've never felt safe to just be... Nothing has ever been stable, thread that runs through my childhood. I'm constantly putting out fires, always on red alert, that's no way to live. I've made pace with lack of relationships. I don't have many but the ones I do have are deep, strong and long-lasting. I cherish them deeply!!! I do want to travel. My goal is to actually move to Asia to teach English, probably join the Peace Corps. That's probably the only way I'm gonna be able to afford to relocate unless Drumpf does away with the program then I gotta find another way. There has to be more to life than the day-to-day, humdrum life I've lived for the past 20 years. Working or volunteering at an orphanage or animal preserve or school, seeing the world. I don't want wealth for yachts and sports cars (I do like shoes and dresses and a good meal haha) but wealth/prosperity/abundance for me is about choices and I feel out of choices- very stuck I guess is the best way to describe it. Like most Americans... I am one unexpected bill away from ruin so planning to relocate overseas seems like a pipe dream even though I would live pretty much like a local, getting there is a up hill battle though. LOL I haven't given up though but time is ticking... the older I get, the further away the possibility seems.
