Topic: How content are you... | |
---|---|
I am content with who I am as a person . . but always willing to better myself. Im not content with where I am in my life . . .been kinda stuck in a rut for the last couple of years. But Im currently making choices to change that. :)

Pretty much. If i feel i want/need to change anything in my life, then i just go for it. I don't sit and wonder about it. I just do it.

With who you are and where you are in your life? Me, not very content actually. I have a demanding job and two kids. Between work and home, I don't really feel like there is a me. I feel one dimensional. I am very comfortable with who I am but not quite comfortable with where I am in my life. I retired 4 years ago and then immediately undertook the most ambitious and risky project I have every tried. I now have more demands in retirement than I had working and two great young kids as well as a variety of hobbies and interests. Feels very multi-dimensional to me. It is a good thing I enjoy high risk high reward endeavors. My overall sense of confidence has remained fairly strong throughout these transitions although it has been more rollercoaster than cruise ship. And that means there are high hills and steep transitions and dark tunnels, sharp turns, centrifugal force, high voltage and inversions. It's fun but not entirely comfortable...but in many ways I like it like that. Requires that where I am in life is usually changing rapidly. |

I'm at a place in my life where things are how they will be for awhile. I have a great woman in my life....yet we live miles apart. I have a good job, but I am going to school to improve that. So, while there are good and bad things about my life, right now this is what it is. I'm still me. I am as optimistic and hopeful as I have been about my future, and I fully believe that in time my life will become extremely happy and fulfilled. I love what you said, here. Thanks! |

As many times as I have been close to dying, and I am still here. I will be content, when I finally find out what my purpose is here, that keeps me from being taken away, from the planet. Im obviously meant to do something, or I would not have beat the odds several times, and still be alive.. I just wish I knew what that was. To keep my a$$ in line. |

Content in some ways and not so much in others. I'm content with who I am, but not with the job I'm doing at the moment.

Ok, so I just made Jello dirt cups and my garage is cleaned out. I am more content then yesterday. But this thread did get me thinking. I am volunteering next weekend at the YMCA and will take extra care to notice the beauty around me. Thank you all.

I'm fine with where I am at this point in my life. I have a good job, a nice house I can tinker with and all the excitment of children & grandchildren...never a dull moment when you have three kids . I wanna be one of those people that slides into heaven saying "what a ride!".

I'm happy and content with where I am right now..

Content? .. I couldn't possibly judge such a thing. Take a walk through a hospital with dying children or even adults.. you will see things a wee bit differently. I am grateful for what I have, although it may or may not be what I had imagined for myself.

I am grateful for what I have, although it may or may not be what I had imagined for myself. I have, I have even had one of my children in there and have lost one. which has taught me to be very content and thankful for each day. i live every day to the fullest, i never go to bed angry or upset with someone just incase i dont get to say im sorry. I tell everyone I love that I love them i have 6 gorgeous children who I have raised alone. I have a wonderful man who loves me, and although he is 20 000ks away, he still makes me very very happy. My life is full of joy, and laughter and people I love.. I am very content and thankful for everyday. |

I honestly don't think I am quite as content as I would like to be, but on the whole, life's not too bad at all.
