Are you leading a sucessful life?

No with not yet and a long way to reach my goal. Financially still out of the corporate circle. For family wise still running with backlog and far far away to reach my dream. Many identified circumstances to be dealt with. and alway on long term forecasts and strategies. And never enough towards satisfaction, will never feeling satisfied in and for the rest of my life.

I'd like to think I am...of course there are a few things in my life that I guess I am not fully satisfied yet...like my husband who works out of town...not really a great arrangement. But I know somehow, later he will have to come home for good. Then of course, my health..I am on strict diet now because of high blood sugar, high bad cholesterol and triglyceride. Hope that in my next check up, I'd improve on my lab tests...but I feel there's a lot of blessings in my life...like my daughter and son...

I guess that would depend on the view of each situation. My family life. Well, I have seven children that are growing well and they are pretty good kids. They do not run around loose and causing problems. For the most part, they listen to me and are respectful. But then I have a teenager that is so close to being 18 that he seems to think that he knows all and has hit that rebellious stage that I swear, is taking a huge toll on me. So...is that successful? Well, it depends on how one looks at it. :) Or how about financally....well, we struggle to make ends meet have even made transfers from one credit card to lower the payment. Then we have to charge more soon for a house repair that the insurance company refuses to cover. That would say that is unsuccessful....but....my children are not going hungry and they all have what they need. :) So...are we unsuccessful or successful? ha ha One more example? Love life. I have been with my partner for 18 years. We stay together because of children but we are also best friends and would be lost without each other's friendship. But we seriously lack in the love connection department. Well, we have stuck it out with each other for a very long time and are still close friends. But I do not ever see having another relationship with the matters of the heart because I don't believe in love anymore. So...is that unsuccessful or do I just have a better understanding and acceptance that it is successful? ha ha Complicated, huh? Point is...I guess it is a matter of how you look at it as to if you are successful or not. Personally, I think it is always a success because even if it fails, you have learned what not to do to make it closer to a success next time. My next teenager that acts like my 17 yr old...I think I am going to lock up until 18 yrs is reached. ha ha

Ha! I wish. I am living with my grandmother, and the only thing I have to look forward to is a temporary job that lasts from this month til February. The main thing is not to let present circumstances get you down though. I will be successful, sooner than anyone thinks. I just use this present situation as a stepping stone to where I really want to be. By this time next year, I will be responding from my own apartment, I will have my own car, and I will at least be financially comfortable enough to not worry about bills.
