Have you ever felt like you were living life wrong? Going against the grain? Betraying your own destiny? Not where you need to be?

Not that Im on the wrong path but that I have NO idea where I truly want my life to lead, and I doubt my wants, my desires... talk myself out of bigger things for fear. 😢

Yes, like a ship adrift.

I really felt that way up until the time I was about 44. Which coincides to the year I got my degree. At that point I changed jobs and worked in a field related to my degree. Mind you - I was the oldest person there, but it was a great job when the company was still small.

But, as time went by, the start up I was working at got much bigger and it started to feel less "cohesive" and more like "just a job", then 9-11 happened and everyone got laid off.

So I took my severance, bought some equipment and started my own company. I kinda feel now that I am exactly where I need to be.

I wish I had known in my 20's what I know today.... I could have avoided a lot of "wasted time".

Ive don’t think I’ve ever really chosen a path. I’ve just availed myself of whatever opportunity arise at the time. It has sorta worked for me.

I definitely feel like I am not where I belong, but the path to where I belong is a rough, long, and potentially expensive one. I have made the decision to enjoy the journey, but that is hard, knowing I want to be elsewhere makes it difficult to enjoy being here. Buying outdoor furniture was a commitment to enjoying the time we spend here.

Oh yes, absolutely. Its why I left SW two years ago and came back. I havent had the courage yet, but i had to make it right.

The only right path is dropping all my connections and disappearing.

That is how it feels.

Yes, I've been on the wrong path fo myself for years....I'm a gay man, married to a woman

Everyday. The longer I stay the longer I will continue to stay.

I feel like I wasn't given much choice to truly thrive in life. Like there was not really a better path available. Just the one with different set of problems with what I was given.
I don't believe in one's destiny in life unless someone has some obvious talent and passion from an early age, know what they are the best at and know it's what they want to do.

Definitely against the grain.

THAT'S A RESOUNDING, "YES!"

Not really...lucky I guess!

Yes perhaps, I know I can be capable of amazing things that empower myself and other people to spread joy and positivity. Yet I seem to be struggling to get there right now.

No. I learned years ago that you only live once and there's no going back. You can only do your best going forward, one day at a time.

I’m in the right life and living the way I want too. My problem is my body is wrong.Should be female.

Start over. Change course. You're alive. You can try. It isn't too late.

Yes, for about the last 20 years
