Reaching Unexpected Heights

I've been there. I didn't expect to be there, l didn't plan to be there but l got there. Yes l reached great heights , then l fell. A very big drop, but l picked myself up and got back half way - where l remain to this day. Did you ever have dreams of reaching certain heights in your life? Career wise or just life in general. What happened to those dreams? Did you get where you wanted to be, or reached a certain point and decided that was enough. Are you still trying? My fall was not all my fault. My fault was being too trusting. Blind trust is not a good thing. Pixabay image.

Definitely blind trusting is not good.

I guess in a sense I have reached the goals I wanted to attain, but ultimately they didn't seem very satisfying and didn't work out in the long run.

If you are happy where you are presently, then that is good.

I think not yet. But what I had are the small things that I have prayed to God, like I hope I can write when I grow up, I hope I can enjoy writing/working in a coffee shop. And its all so cool, and it happened, I also able to decorate our room in the design that i like, my sister give up our room and said that it is mine and do wahtever I want in it, so the poster that I glued on my dream book it happens! I was able to shoot and edit video for a client. I think that is very rewarding, and I can't believe God gave me an opportunity to experience that before I get old. I think what I am still praying that hopefully God can answer this year is to establish my career in writing online.

I guess I was never a terribly ambitious person. But I did OK and so far I'm comfortable where I am!

That is a good thing, being comfortable where you are. I am too.

I'm sorry you 'fell'. Yes, it's possible to trust others too much. In your case, it seems like a very hard lesson to learn.

It was, but sometimes one has to "roll with the punches".
