Do you ever feel you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Paula- You are definately not alone. I've had this experience with family members, as well as "friends" in my short life time. I don't mind an equal share of ideas, but when someone else always wants to make you feel less about yourself, and your life that's when I have to do some serious reflection and ask myself if they are really the sort of friend I want in my life. Not that I want someone who will always agree with me, but I don't want someone who is always negative either. The thing I'm working on now is reminding myself "It's their problem. It's their problem". Meaning, I used to carry my friends burdens as my own. If they were going through life struggles I would carry that as my own as if I had caused their problems. There are times when I feel that I too would like to run away to the woods to a cottage away from all people and all technology. I think we all have that feeling, and sometimes this types of sabbaticals can prove healthy and nourishing. Namaste-Anora

After reading your post, I can remember one dialogue from a movie, "The Matrix: Reloaded". "So, you can see, the problem in choice." Indeed, it really is, no matter what decision you take at that time, you have to choose from options and it is upto you that you convert that choice into a fruitful one or not. Although, I can't follow this rule and always use to acuse God that he didn't provide me ample mind to think about right choice! LOL

There are many times in my life I have asked myself these questions, and wondered if I am really where I am supposed to be. Going and trying to do something and then get a feeling like it is always not where you are supposed to be, and you made a mistake. Then you end up feeling dumb, and usually making excuses to get out of there knowing the feelings you are feeling are not right. Personally it happens, and will keep on happening. The thing is what do we do about them when it happens?
