Have you ever felt like your life is in transition? like you know you're not supposed to be in this situation but you just have to deal with it? I am almost everyday constantly reminding myself that things will be a lot better...that things will turn out the way I wanted... but it's been years and my life is still the same.... they say if you strive to do your best, and if you are charitable and kind, you will be rewarded.... is this just a cliche?

I don't believe that it's a cliche but you have to take steps to improve your life, too. I went back to college at 39 years of age. I was in a position where I needed to make a change in my life and so I thought about what direction I wanted my life to go and took steps to get there. The funny thing is that, after getting there I soon found that life was leading me in a different direction. I do believe that we are rewarded for working hard and being charitable & kind but we have to recognize opportunities and take advantage of them, too.

Hi...so nice to hear from you, and it's really nice to know that there are people like you who've been in the same situation, felt the same as I did, perhaps. Nice to know I'm not the only one in the boat. Hey, thanks a lot for that. Yeah...I'm going through a phase I never thought I'd be going back to...I thought I've graduated from this stage already, but here I am starting all over again. But I never lose hope...I just treat each day like its' one step closer to my dream. I hope you're right spalladino. Once I get there, I'll let you know.:)
