Do you ever think, Geez I should have done something better

[velvett]

with my life?


Everytime I watch the movie 'The Guardian' - I think how I should have gone in a different direction with my life.

I have a nice life, I do well for myself, I have no real complaints - I'm happy but I ask myself sometimes what have I really done here?

Dunno.



Anyone else?

All the time, Vel. All the time. However, I may just be suffering from the "grass is greener" syndrome.

Well, I guess the good thing is that change can always happen providing fear doesn't hold one back from trying.

I feel like I haven't lived up to any purpose to be here - does that sound egotistical? Maybe I just can't express what I'm thinking...

No, I get what you mean. I think having a purpose is at the center of self-actualization.

Or if you died today what legacy would you leave?
Its the same epiphany.

Yes, but I also know that I'm lucky to have what I have. With every choice comes consequences and the most important thing for me has always been health and fitness training (and I"ve always been consistent with that) and anything that might interfere with that I wouldn't venture into. I know I'm not cut out for a high stress enviroment and many people that make lots of money (attornies, etc) are not happy because of that stress. So now I'm at a point in life where I get to take a break and decide what direction I want to head in as far as making money goes.

No not really a legacy.
But I hear what you're saying.

I think I'm gonna end up doing something where I can work from home and have lots of free time.
