Are You Where You Want To Be In Your Life?

Sometimes it feels like we're in some kind of race to get to this unknown destination in our lives. We're constantly comparing ourselves to someone else or if we're not someone else is doing it for us. The mere measurement of success or lack of it is somehow this imaginary line drawn in the sand. Sometimes its realistic and sometimes an illusion. Not everyone has the same skill sets or drive. Some people can achieve so called success in five years or less. While for others, life happens and it take us longer to get to that same finish line.

Success is an abstract word all on its own. What is success for one person, could be failure to another. We are all raised in different environments. Even the word normal is making some assumptions that might or might not be true for some of us. When we lump ourselves into some of these ridiculous standards we find that those things mean nothing to us at all. Leaving us with bad taste in our mouths. This constant chase can be exhausting, if we're not really looking at whats important to us as individuals. Not everyone values the same things in the same way.

Money on its own can lead a merry chase. Especially if you don't know how much is your exact goal or if its even your goal at all. Everyone assumes that every one's goal is the same but never takes the time to lay down the foundation; of what they want or don't want in their lives. Very few couples even sit down to discuss it. It's like that elephant in the room and no one wants to address it. This leads to more unhappiness in relationships, because everyone assumes that their on the same page with out actually discussing it.

When is the last time you actually sat down and mapped out where you want to be in your life. Have you written down some of your goals or even one? Have you written down the steps and the deadline for yourself? If you previously had mapped it out? Does this still hold appeal for you or have your goals changed? Everyone is entitled to change their mind.

Sometimes it can be a matter of finding the right resources to help you achieve those goals. It can also be a matter of acquiring certain skills to make it happen. Where ever you are in your path. Check in with yourself from time to time to see if it's still your goal or if that goal has changed. We all grow at different paces. As long as we grow and continue to learn that's all that matters sometimes. Some skills can only come from a mentor sometimes. Even failure can be a growth experience. You learn what does and does not work. Even some of the best minds in history had set backs. It is this thirst to learn from our mistakes that can lead to success along the way.
