Lots of people always wanna be something which they wanna be but they end up not achieving that goal probably because of lack of sponsorship or the inability not to be motivated to achieving such goal or maybe some family issues stuff. Likewise as for me, am still on the road but i know i will get there soon.

I really believe that one reason why people could not be what they really are is the fact that the rest of the people always judge and tend to have a bad way of understanding other's opinions or feelings. At least, this is my reason.

Fear...fear is the biggest thing holding me back. I'd like to move to another state, but I worry that I would miss my parents too much. I visit them every weekend, and not being able to would be really hard. Especially if I moved somewhere that would only allow a couple visits a year! Fear is also holding me back from quitting my job. This would be the 4th job I quit since I graduated college in 2007. I just haven't found anything that makes me happy. But I'm worried if I quit another job, I'll be tainted and I'm going to have to start at the bottom somewhere again. I got a promotion at this job, and my boss has said I Could (as in maybe) become a manager in about a year if we get enough new work. But I have been told so many things with this job that hasn't happened. And even if I was given the opportunity to be a manager in a year, I don't know if I can make it that long. I think being a manager could make the job better for me but...I just don't know! Life would be SO much easier if I had a ton of money and could do whatever I want!

That is a good question. While growing up I was never encouraged or felt that I could do anything. I came to live in Israel over 30 years ago and I reinvented myself, but, now, I am wondering if I really found what I want to do. So, I am trying to find other areas and so far not sure if found what I am looking for.

Determination which also means a strong will should get you where you want to be.

So far it's been a combination of overprotective parents and my own fear of attacking life. I let my frustrations speak louder and got used to believing that being happy was not for me. Then about a year ago, i met a person who changed my life and made me work harder on myself. I improved greatly and in a short time too but I wanted to do so much more. Just when I was starting to get a hang of life I lost both my jobs and have been struggling every since. I know life is just a big lesson. And even though I'm late for class I'm definitely not skipping it ;)
