40 days and 40 nights

Congratulations on arriving at your journey's destination! As "they" say, misery loves company and there will always be someone around trying to hold you back. Any friend who would interfere in your self realization is no friend.

Hmm, I havent really had that 'burnout' stage where I said to myself enough is enough and do other things, at least for the time being. That's because I try to take breaks or time outs every chance that I get. So they may be little/small in amount of time but I do have a lot of them. As for being with myself and reflecting, well, being alone most of the time can lead to that more often than not. Im usually left to myself and there are those times that I really do not have to do anything to distract me. That just leads to having an internal dialogue of getting to know myself better and rediscovering who/how I am at present.^_^

Hi Ritz100, There is no chance for me to "find myself" as my hubby is here more often the not, he works four days and home four days, so there is no chance, but I know that I am much stronge then I used to be and ev eything positive about myself though. Tamara

Hey Ritz! Nice to see you again! Sometimes we just have to take a step back and look inside ourselves! I have done this from time to time! I know that sometimes my friends don't quite understand why or what I am doing, but it is something that I feel I need to do! It is sometimes called "isolating", but I prefer to call it taking time to look inside myself and rearrange my feelings or whatever I feel is necessary for me to do at that moment! Sometimes it is just something that we need to do for ourselves and there is nothing wrong with that! So if you need to "find yourself" you should do so and not have to explain it to anyone, not even yourself!

Yes i can understand your situation well.Despite our best efforts people around us try to put us down.They don't give us the necessary encouragement to make us rise in our chosen profession.As long as you realize your potential without giving undue attention to friends and relatives who are trying to demoralize you,you can improve your position by being more focused and putting in more hard work.

I have no found myself yet. But soon enough once I find myself a job and can stand on my own there I'll start to find myself. I am just afraid for now that I can do it and I really need more support from my parents for my needs. I have difficulty finding a job so I hope that I will be hire soon.
