Sometimes I get so frustrated with myself. There are so many different things that I need to work on and improve in my life. I just feel that in some ways,I'm not going to get to where I'm happy with my progress. Have you ever experienced those types of feelings?

I think that everyone goes through stages in their life where they feel they will never meet their goals. I have entertained those thoughts, but I have found that I get frustrated when i focus on the big goals I am not making.
I force myself to focus on setting small goals that are easier to achieve, or breaking those big goals down into manageable sizes so that there is the feeling of success so we do not give up.

It is definitely a good idea to set small goals. We are able to then accomplish something on our way to our bigger goals and we can feel proud of ourselves. When we focus on big goals it seems as if they are all so far away. We need to keep working towards them.

yes.this has happened to me.when it does i have to ask myself whether my version of happiness is based on what everyone else's version is. sometimes that gets confused. you have to ask your self is what you are doing really making you happy or not. if the answer is no,then most likely you will no succeed. you subconscious will not let you, because you really don't want it, no matter how hard you work.

Yeah you make very good points. I understand what you mean. I to at times get confused with my version of happiness and others. I will definitely have to keep re evaluating my thoughts and feelings and making sure there mine. There are so many celebs,people in general, media, entertainment who are always focusing on getting more.
I would to be able to provide for my family and enjoy life. I don't want to look back on my life and realize that all I did was work my life away trying to get more money or become rich. I would really just like to enjoy my life with my family and spend quality time together. But now a days that is too simple of a thing to focus on. A lot people see that has a waste of time and energy because a person isn't making x amount of dollars.
