Happy to Have Success Both in Career and Love

same here. i have a good husband, an adorable son and a good position in a company. i am lucky to enjoy all these but at some point in my life the mother calling in me makes me want to be a plain housewife and a stay at home mom. it is very hard to balance them all but i am doing all my best with the support of my husband to make all this possible. i am very positive that God has a better plan for us so i just go to where He directs us. stay happy and happy mylotting!

i believe success is just a perception. It depends on our satisfaction. Greedy people will never be satisfied with what they have. I would therefore say that you are satisfied with both your career and love life and hence you are happy and that is what matters ! :) Hope we find a lot of people in this world like you and it would be a happy place to live in ! Cheers !!!

I wasn't all that successful in my chosen career: I wanted to be an actor; although I also wanted to be a Rock star; and writer. Oh yes, I was full of ambition. By my late teens, I was writing songs; and trying to write books; then I went to acting school in my early 20s, and was a professional actor for a time. But it was felt I should have a safety net, so I went to university, which I loved, and of course, I did a lot of acting there. But I never became a truly successful actor...I guess you could say I didn't want it enough. I wanted to be famous; but it seems I didn't want to put in the necessary work. Although I was social and loved to party, and could work like absolute billy-o in my acting when this was required: and my work was richly praised indeed...at the same time, paradoxically, I was a bit of a homebody too; and perhaps spent too much time enjoying home life when I should have been pushing myself. Oh there are always so many excuses why folks mess up their careers, but I did, let's be honest...and believe me, I had so many golden opportunities. Sometimes it really hurts to look back at my early life, bad. I developed a bad drinking problem; and out of this problem, I think it's fair to say there grew a depressive condition. yes, I'd say I have suffered from this...not severely; but it has been debilitating; it's kept me back terribly. I've led quite a reclusive existence for a good long time now. Recently, my health has not been as good as it was; and this has acted as a kind of spur for me to plan to start capitalising more on my talents. I'll probably have to do something a little more drastic about my depression, and quit my comfort zone. But the important thing is: I want to. As for writing? Oh yes, I started taking it real seriously back in 2006...and the results...well they can be read here: http://www.feedaread.com/profiles/682/ My writings are sad in parts...but there's a lot of joy in there too. I've a strong Christian faith, which is the best thing that's ever happened to me. If I succeed in further capitalising on my talents, it'll be like the cherry on top of the cake, and a way perhaps of atoning for the tragic follies of my younger days. Whether it'll come to anything remains to be seen...after all as I said, my health's not what it was. We'll say, as they say...I may just be dreaming.

good day jureathome, in that regard, you are in the win-win situation. wherein, you have both, love and career. and i can really say, you are one of the luckiest people. since not all people are granted and given a reward like that.
