in your status right now.. can you say that this is the life that you wanted to live or you wanted more from it.. are you contented or hoping for a change... in my case i do love my life now.. taking care of my baby and family but i also thinks of doing other things because i know there are things i wanted to do aside from my situation right now.. but not this time... my family needs me more now than any other time... so dreams can wait... do you love your life right now..?

Thanks for sharing... Right now, I want more. I have a lot of dreams but what bothers me is about my family. My sister-in-law looked down on me. I don't know why she is like that. To make my story short. All my relative thinks I'm a blacksheep in the family... That is why sometimes I don't know if I can do more with what I am right now.

There are days when i just think about how my life has been these years....well, it was not perfect, a lot of problems along the way.....I cry and thought that if only i did this and that, most probably I wouldn't be feeling trapped in this whole situation. But when I think of other people around me who might have bigger issues in their lives, I still thank God for giving me this kind of life I have now. It makes me feel grateful that despite the imperfections of life, there are a lot of things that I should be thankful for.

Thanks, echoforever! I appreciate your words. I did however thought of the same way, too. Coz I know that god would never place us in a situation that would be bad for us. We just need to learn beyond what is in front of us, right? I am trying my hardest, and am hoping that I can finally say that this is the life that I wanted.

I know what it is to feel trapped. Don't blame yourself because we can only live life once. We do try for the best decisions and we can never know what will happen. When we feel trapped it is always the best solution, I think, to trust in God to get us out of it. I know that He has done that for me before.

I'm thankful for my life I have now yet I still want to go to a place to live quietly and peacefully with my son. I desire peace and harmony because I'm quite surrounded with people who love to bicker one another and envious too. It's quite an unhealthy environment. Yet still thankful for my life now because my son and I are healthy.

You are one of few of this globe who are happy with their present. Most of the people think that they were in better life than present life. Anyway, as per your question, I can say that for me my all todays are better than yesterdays. From your written lines, it seems you love to care people around you and this time it is rewarded. Keep it up, friend.

I do. I'm the happiest I've been in ages. Its amazing.
I think there's two reasons. Less stress - I'm not operating my own business anymore. Plus i have a regular paying job that i'm not worried all the time about being able to pay personal things not just business things.
I'm where i want to be - there isn't 1400 km between myself and the love of my life. We're together. Being a huge distance apart can be stressful in itself.
There's things that could get me down but there's so many reasons to be happy.

In most ways, I really do love the life that I have right now. However, I do have to admit that there are some areas in which I really don't feel like I am completely contented in my life. You see, I would love it if our family was in a better financial situation. It would also make me a lot happier if I had not had to been through the experiences of being the spouse of a cancer patient. However, I do feel like I've been lucky enough to have a good life.

I would like more from my life. There are so many things that I would like to do as far as a career and my time with my family. My life though is decent and things are going well in a lot of ways. I just have to do my best to be patient and learn to be appreciative of what I do have.
I understand what you mean. I have a daughter and husband that I'm taking care of but there are also goals that I have for myself that I would like to reach. I hope that you will reach yours as well with your families love and support.

even if we love being a mom.. there are also things that we would like to accomplished for ourselves.. it is something that not all mommies out there can do because of dedication of being a mother and a wife.. i hope we can still achieve those things we want even we are busy taking care of our families..

I am contented, not happy with it because there is so much more I feel like I should be doing in my life. I love being home with my children but I do want to be working part time too, just so I can feel like I'm doing my part with financially.
I just started my Childcare Business again, but that takes time to build up clients... So right now I feel stuck basically.

I like my love more than I ever did, but still I'm not a 100% happy. I need to get it together in the study department for that :D, and finish my BA at last. It's a bit hectic now because of that. Oh, and I wouldn't mind a bit more money, but I'm not obsessed with getting rich.

That is a very good question. Thinking about the current status of my life right now, i am not exactly where I wanted to be. When I was younger I had the hopes of being a doctor, which is something that stays on my mind even now. I wanted more out of my life at that time. But that was before I had the life that I have right now. I have many flaws in my personality, and I have a lot of responsibility, but I would not trade it for anything. This is the life that I was meant to live and I love my husband and children so much. I could not imagine life without any of them. I am getting to a point right now that I am working on making some changes in my life. I have an associates degree right now and I am exploring getting my bachelors. I am searching a way to be in the medical field. Or even a vet tech.

I can say that I still have a lot of things to do in my life, for my kids and their future.
Right now I am contented with my life.
I am happy and that matters most.
Given the chance, slowly I want to add more changes, more achievements (gradually)

I can say at the least I am content with life at most times. It isn't what I want for the rest of my life but it is fine for the time being. I don't have dreams really, I lost them along the way and don't have inspiration to persue them any more. I am happy with family sometimes but I know there are issues that still need to be looked at and worked through. I am content working online, I want to keep working with this because I would love to be independently successful financially.

I would be a hypocrite if I say that there's nothing more that I want out of life. I still have some dreams and I am willing to work hard for it through honest means. Of course where I am right now is where I want to be. I am so thankful that despite everything, I am blessed. I do my best to be worthy of this blessings and to share this with my loved ones. I am also taking some baby steps to inspire friends and colleagues and somehow bring hope. I know it's asking for too much, but hey, it's free to dream.

I know how it feels to suspend dreams because of family obligations. However, I plan to continue for my dream and drag my family along with me. I know they my hinder me at every turn, but I won't be a good mother unless I follow my dream. I live by that, now and forever.
