Do you ever feel like you haven't lived up to your potential or that your life so far has been meaningless?

SW-User

I guess, but the past is what it is. You are young you have the whole world before you.
I am old, made my mistakes, but I live with them and I keep striving every day to be a little bit better than I was the day before.

@justmerae: yea that's what life is all about. Getting better day by day

SW-User

All too often, and while I have my sort of trouble, I only know if I get hung up on any of those thoughts then my troubles becomes stronger.

I do feel as though there is more that I can do, but I do not feel as if what I have done so far is pointless. I have made a real difference at times, either at work or with friends. Even on here, I think.

SW-User

No not the problem at all lol I don't have lots of friends or talk to lots of people so sometimes I get bored etc over the past 5 years or so it has become more of a problem an I'm getting tired of saying this repeating my self

GBPackersFan · 41-45, M

Sometimes in my younger days but i straightened it all out. I'll add that when i'm on this site, with all the freaks on it makes me feel better about myself daily lol

@GBPackersFan: lol that's good

SW-User

@HotPizza: that's so good! 🙂

SW-User

It's all about learning your limits and what you're prepared to do to get there in the correct manor.I worked to a level of management I wanted to and was satisfied.Now I've gotten older and those values have changed.I want to work less and have a more balanced work/life balance..which I now do

LionsLair · 26-30, F

@HotPizza: yea exactly, when life doesn't make a way for us we have to make our way through life. Even if we have to do some learning, changing, and adapting along the way

Experienced33 · M

I have my highs and lows..like everyone...find some thing you enjoy getting up in the morning and doing..

LionsLair · 26-30, F

@Experienced33: yea exactly!

SW-User

Not exactly.. there's just a huge thing in my life I can't change is all

LionsLair · 26-30, F

@Nugget: what do you feel like you can't change?

SW-User

@ChickenWingFreak: oh, it's kind of private

LionsLair · 26-30, F

@Nugget: oh that's understandable. Whatever it is I hope that even if you can't change it, it doesn't hinder you from being happy

NunIover
