Hi guys,
Right now things are kinda difficult for me, I don't know why because i have a job m own place a great girl, got a new phone, and my family plus health yet i feel down.
I guess i kinda think that my road to change isnt going as quickly as i hoped for, im not saying that there is no change because there is and it is quite realistic, but i think i expect more now from myself than i used to before and i think that it is a good thing.
I just hope that eventually myself can keep up with my expectations so that this feeling of disappointment and being down can go away soon.
How bout you guys, have you had anything like this? Feeling of disappointment on expected outcomes, hope you can share and give your solution to those internal doubts.

Hi there indafth,
I guess that i just have to be more thankful, i don't feel that way because my problem is just that i think my progress is slow in my life changing journey and that i want my results to be more obvious.
I hope that everything in your life will be better soon. i hope that you can find something in your life that can state that you will be fine in the future. take care indafth.

There are times when I do feel down for an unknown or unexplained reason. If I feel that way I'll make sure to find a way to eradicate that feeling because it can hinder my productivity. And yes it is depressing sometimes when you look back in your life and it seems like you are nowhere to where you should be in the time frame you have given yourself to the road of success. But take it easy on yourself, I think that is a secret to prevent getting down and be able to experience every little thing you achieve. We cant achieve it all in one time. And be comforted to the fact that you are getting there, it maybe slow but you will get there as long as you are doing something to make it happen. Life does not happen in a snap, we make it and we have to make it not in the fast pace because wrong doings cant be easily corrected in the paper where you write your life. God bless!

Hey there dazzledlady,
Thanks for the comment, you are correct i should take it easy on myself and that i should let my self breathe.
Things in life that are good are not usually won easily, we have to work hard for it and it may take time but that doesn't mean it wont happen, i guess i just need to be more patient but still push my self more to get to where I really wanna be.
Thanks lady.

As long as financial support runs well, I think nothing's gonna get me down, bro. I have that bad feeling only I am starting to get skint right now. I think in this modern world, money is everything. Without it life gets pretty dark to me.

Every few years we all have some hard times or a period we think over what to do next or how to go on. We look back at what we did and ask ourselves if we really came forward. I think this is normal. If time is hard for you (even without a "good" reason) try to look at it as if you are watching a soap or so. By taking distance you will see what to do next. Ignoring it can be a good way too. Don't make more problems as there are. Keep your head up in the sky, force yourself to smile but above all do something great for yourself every day and decide each morning again that you are going to make it today! Only with a positive attitude you will beat this and believe me it's possible. So count all the blessings you have, every (small) thing you did and be proud of yourself.

Hello david. It is important to have expectations from the ownself and start working on that. As you said, you have everything great in your life and still you are not happy! I really feel bad for you. You are not able to appreciate the great things that you own right now. Never forget that you always wanted to have things like this only in your life. Now when you have it, you want more. There is point when you say you want to do more. There is nothing wrong in it. But you shouldn't stress yourself so much on doing it. It will affect the things and people you already have in your life. Come out of this feeling as soon as possible. Life is beautiful. Open your eyes to what you already have and savor those gifts form the life!
I never come across these disappointments in life as I am always happy about what I have in my life and what comes in my way. Yes, i'm also a human. It is not like I never get disappointed, sad, angry and all! but I know to look into the positives of my life when I feel these emotions. You need to learn this to come out of the depression you are going through!
CheerS!

Hi there 5mahi05,
Bottom line is that i guess i need to be more of an optimist since most of the time lately i've been down, am not really disregarding the people and things that i have in life i love them and everyday i try to make sure that i venerate them for there worth in my life.
I guess the thing is i really wanna do more and be the best that i think that i can be nothing more nothing less.
Thanks a lot your comment gave me a different perspective on how to tackle my issues.

I give high hope on everything, my projects, and my business, and eventually everything became an disappointment, and I constantly down on myself. Sometimes, I even doubt on my ability to manage to get success, or my ability to make something out of my career. Am I a loser, that is the kind of questions I constantly ask myself. I can't give you any memorable advice now, but we all struggling the best right now. I am trying too. Hopefully something gotta change within our lives.

That's what happens when we have a high expectations for ourselves.
But when we are used to simple life, just having something great , like what you all mentioned , would already be much.
Maybe you should analyze what is it that really will make you happy. If you think it is unattainable, perhaps you can you an lower your goal, so it won't make you feel down.
