Is Your Life The Way You Wanted It To Be When You Were A Kid?

Hi katie0, No, my life is not the way I wanted it to be when I was a kid. Most time when you are a kid you what to be many different things when you grow up. Unless you are very aware of your desire and do all that you can to make that dream come true, you will probably not be what you thought you would be. Some people don't really have future dreams, they just try to survive the childhood and become whatever fate throws their way. If you are exactly what you pictured yourself to be when you were a kid, you are very fortunate. Your position proves that if you have a strong faith that something can happen then sometimes it really does happen.

We have such wonderful dreams of life when we are children. We want the world and we think it is ours for the taking. Dreams change along the way. I don't seem to want the same things now that I did then. I still hold onto the same values and qualities but they are different now. I don't know if my life is the way I wished it as a child, but it is the life i have to live now,.

My life is different than how I pictured it as a child, but I am rather glad that it is. When I was a child, I had a very unrealistic view of the world, and as I grew up I knew that there was no way that I could ever accomplish what I wanted to be as a child. I think that to hold myself up to those standards would have just been impossible. When I was a child, I wanted to be famous. I wanted to be a famous singer, dancer, actress, and writer. Who can really do all of that? (With the exception of Jewel and some other people.) I didn't really think that I could do all of that. I would love to, but I can't, and I know it.

katieo HI yes and no and I no longer have any regrets as the one thing I always wanted I might still be able to do using my long life as the way to get my writing published. a biography of a kid from the farm in South Dakota who lived through through two depressions now and am alive to write about it. just maybe it will get published if only I can get it down on paper. I went through Junior college picturing myself getting as and I did it then I went back at 56 to get my BA and I did not get an a average but a b average and my BA in English at 57 so I did accomplish something after all. I always wanted to nurse people and I did work as a nurses aide for many years and loved it too. I had a husband and two children now my son is 51 and had she lived past 8 she would be fifty now , we lost our precious little girl at age 8, hard to get over that but the pains no longer there just the loss.So no I did no get all of what i wanted but am still trying for that.

When I was a kid, I had this time table wherein I wrote there all the things that I want to happen to my life. I wrote there are year and time for everything that I want to achieve. Anyway, there were a few that was fulfilled and there were also few unfulfilled.

some of our dreams come true but there are some that have changes coz I think our wants when are a child have changes if we reached the teenage age maybe it's just part of our maturity as we grow

I think my life is mostly how I wanted it when I was little. The only thing is, now I don't want it this way as much as I did then. From the time I was little I knew I was really good with kids. I knew I wanted to get married and start a family. So that is what I did right out of high school. I got married at 20 and had our first child at 21. Now I'm 29 and we have 3 kids. They are 7, 5 and 3. I love my kids but I'm starting to regret the life I missed out on. I didn't go to college, didn't date or spend time with friends as a single adult. I started dating my husband right after we graduated and we were exclusive a few months later. I also thought I would be a teacher since I like kids so much but I developed anxiety issues that have kept me from doing it.

no I am not I wish I can be a president but know I am a low employee on the hypermart disgusting

I read the book at a later age but how I wish it was published earlier on. My mom always reads and rereads everytime she's feeling low. I'm really glad that the The Secret made an impact in you life. It really is a nice book. I'm trying to practice it now but before that and up to now, though, i used to recite my mom's favorite prayer, which goes... God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, The coursge to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference. Pursuing your desires as a human being is a great goal. I congratulate you for being a hero and a brave person. Our world needs more people like you. =)

I think it is wonderful that your image is exactly what you wished for when you were a kid. Some of my wishes have come true as well, I wanted a husband, a kid and a dog, so that part is good. I also wanted more than one kid but my husband did not so that is one part that is not what I wanted. The other part is my career, I do not in any way have the type of career I wished for when I was little. I am trying to work to rectify that situation but is easier said than done.

My life did not turned out the way I wanted it to be when I was a kid . But , I have no regrets .

Hello Katie0, I wished life could have been the way I wanted when I was growing up. I would have had all the things I wanted and then some. On the other hand, if I had everything I wanted, I would not know the true value of a hard earned dollar, nor would I appreciate a good days hard work. When I was a kid, times were tough for my family. I have 4 siblings all of whom found out the hard way that nothing will ever be handed to you and if you chose not to work, then that was your meal ticket flying out the window. The way I see it now is: if you have no education, then your life will be 10 times as hard as someone who has an education. I believe this statement holds true because it's very hard to get ahead with little or no education. I am making my dream a reality by furthering my education and teaching my children you must work hard while you are young, so that you may play when you get older.
