Sometime I find myself wondering if I am where I should be. On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the best you could imagine your life, where are you at and why?

If you are a ten what did you to take your life there, if not what is holding you up?
 
id say 7
I have my career,and am happy about that,and im happy with myself.

what would make it a 10 is owning a better car,moving out on my own and finding the girl I cant live without, other then that im completely happy
 
im happy..:)

i look the way i want too and have accepted the things i can't change

carreer wise im on schedule, education - now i just gotta get married and have babies:P

Relative to yourself. I'm not looking for you to compare with anyone, just your life and your position of where it is at.

That response is just asking for all kinds of comments!

Much respect for those who have life under control, that is always a struggle.
 
In some ways it's a 10, in some ways it's a -3. Such is life though. I'm where I'm supposed to be at the moment because of my past choices and the direction I'm trying to move forward into. Overall I keep my chin up and try to appreciate what I have instead of focusing on the less than fun stuff.

If I got killed in a car accident today I'd be happy with where I was in this moment. In some kind of transitional stage of my life but focused and being honest with myself.

That's like a 3.5 average, I think I know the feeling though! Sounds like you are moving upward and not the other way, that is my goal also.

"I found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya... it feels phenomenal."

That sums it up right there.......

aahhh...yes you do. at 10 you can concentrate at refining and honing skills, without the worry of making it there...there is always work to do, total enlightenment is the only thing that relieves such a burden.

I wouldn't say I have a lot by certain standards, but I'm happy with what I have......

I'm afraid that at a 10, I become content (a fear I have). I don't ever want to become content.

I disagree, I believe that once you are there the hardest thing is to keep it. That is plenty to strive for!

If you are happy than that is everything right? I mean is there more that you want, r u working towards that? If so than it is close to perfect!=10

content is peace....tranquil- do you ever think what it would be like to have a quiet mind and not "want" constantly?...the noise in our minds and the 1000's of thoughts every day, exhaust us, age us....i think contenment would be a great place to be...IMO. :karate:

I experienced that recently. My mind was completely empty and my heart was completely full. :rose:

I wouldn't be where I am if I didn't become "at peace" with a lot things.

I guess sometimes I view "content" as laziness. Right now, I'm taking a risk and I can't allow myself to be lazy.

Pretty much, right now, I'm just coasting along, loving life and living large.

Now - 6 months from it all may change.......life is a constant journey and evolutionary process.
 
Well, since I'm not banging two babes at one time while one is in my kitchen cooking me lasagna I wouldn't rate it as a 10.
 
My life is a 10+

I'm finally on top of my personal mountain and enjoying my view...Love my career, ADORE the people I work with, Love my new condo....

The only goals right now are remodeling my place to what I've always wanted and be able to travel more....I want to see places like Tahiti and the Carribean :dolphin:
 
The last five years have had moments of huge promise but they fell apart because of the lame-o people I worked for who were either too egotistical or too naive to take the situation to its full potential. What I do for a living is execute on the plan to make those situations the most they can be. Unfortunately I'm also past the point where I look up to and respect my uppper management. I now tend to be older than my boss w/ much more experience but the state of the tech / internet industry is such that its not really your experience but rather who you know or the situation you happened to get into at the right time. As a result, I'm sort of cruising thru and tiding myself over until a real and reliable situation comes up. In the mean time I am happy that I have the means to take some greater risk situations that have potential, but do have that dependence on people other than myself. That is my current situation and with it comes huge amounts of frustration and a bit of a tightening on my bank account. So I end up devoting crazy amounts of time to work and letting the rest of my life take 2nd place. This is fine for now, but I really look forward to a time in the not too distant future when I can take a nice vacation to a beautiful Caribbean island, dive and just be a normal person.

Another part of my life that I usually drop back on when the rest of my life is crazy is the gym. I did this when I moved to Atlanta last year because my job basically sucked moose balls. So I got in deep w/ competition up until September when the current job situation took over all my time & energy. So now I'm basically burnt on diet & training, have only been in teh gym sporadically and except for Sesamax & Glucorell (LOVE YOU ULTER!!!!), my diet has been a complete joke. I dont' like the weight I've gained, but I guess relative to everything else, I can live w/ it and to a point I really needed a break from it all. NOw the challenge is just to get back into it because the lack of training & diet is showing in my bodyfat and also my lower back pain.

So on a scale of 1-10, sometimes 2, sometimes 9. I guess that averages to about 5. But its still in flux and its not so much my satisfaction w/ the now as much as it is my excitement and optimism about the future. When I have no goals, I'm completely lost.

Yes...my blinds were delivered this week...Really pretty. I'm waiting for my closet guy to arrive this morning so I get closet shelves...Yeah! It looks like a bomb went off in my place without a closet.


I'd set sail to an island anytime....World is too crazy...I'd stay underwater if I could. :dolphin:
 
Nowhere near where I want to be....still in the planning stages :idea:
 
I'd say about an 8. I'm happy with my career, I've been married and have two kids but now am divorced with two kids, so that part sucks. I'm single...that part really sucks! But overall I do what I want when I want. I have almost everything that I want but the one thing I dont have is that person I can't live without...he's just out of reach!

There is a lot of life to live, lots to see and do. I'm not sure life can ever be a perfect ten. There are to many stress factors out there to deal with. You make out of life what you want. Happiness and contentment are key!

I hate the flux! I would much rather be a 7 and steady. It is just easier to plan around and manage. The highs are great but the inconsistancy just isn't welcomed in my life anymore. I will pull for a better balance for you and see if we both can't get there soon.

Mostly agreed except for the single and 2 kids part. That can't be all that bad, would you trade for single and no kids? Some of us r there!

from the outside looking in, probably a 9 or 10. But inside looking out more like a 6.5

Exactly, this is what I am saying. Looks good on paper and the like but I know there are some changes that need to happen! It is good to be able to relate!

It's good and bad all at the same time. It's difficult raising a two and four year old by yourself with no help frorm the dad and trying to meet someone. Trying to meet a guy who doesn't mind kids is very difficult...and very depressing at times. Not to toot my own horn but I'm single, pretty, make awesome money, have my head on straight, own my house...in a nut shell I have everything...Oh and I can fuck like nobody's business (sorry had to get that in there LOL!!!) but some people dont see that they just see the kids. They dont understand that they could be missing out on the best thing in their lives all because of the kids. But I have to respect that too. Some people are not meant to be parents. Trust me I'm not out looking for my kids next daddy...just someone to share life with. God I sound so fuckin sad don't I?
 
I wouldn't say an 8 and 'like nobody's business' is sad. Some said around a 5, that is kinda sad!
Sorry eat big and sublime, I'm feeling ya though.
 
About an 8/9.

Life just took over and it seems that people and situations that have mysteriously found their way into my life have really pushed me into the direction I think I should headed and while I'm not exactly sure of the destination but the road while sometimes bumpy has some memorable views.
 
I would say I'm at about an 8. I LOVE what I do - helping you guys learn about bodybuilding and helping you have fun. My goal is to double the reach of EF in the next year so you can have twice as many friends here and have twice as much fun!
 
I don't really believe there is a 10 or a perfect stage, because growth is always ongoing.

I am financially far ahead of what I thought I would ever have. Sometimes I walk onto my property and look at my house and just laugh, because it is so inconceivable that I live there. Me? Matt? Dipshit? The kid who used to stutter in class....lives HERE? At 30?? it's gotta be a joke. But it isn't.

Other times I walk out to the back yard and sit by the water and cry, because I miss my best friend (died in HS) and I wish he could see all this and laugh with me about how we grew up with parents living paycheck to paycheck and wore hand-me-down clothes. And he exists only in my mind and heart - I have great friends but not him.

I miss my family. My niece is almost 2, I only see her once a month. I want to retire all of them and move all of us to a compound somewhere where we can forget where we came from and follow our dreams before it is too late.

Once that is done there is so much more to do. So many more things into which energy shall be poured.

So much more to do...so many more to reach.
 
Thanks everyone for sharing! Just hearing others perspectives is what I was looking for. I can always learn from others.
 
geesh some days i am a good 8 with the need to go to college to fullfill myself...other days i am a 3...life is a challenge of ups and downs..IMO it is all about how you handle what life throws.......i have my 3 babies and they mean the world to me..i am human there for i long for many more things......my life long goal is to be a rn....with that being said i some day will accomplish it....i honestly dont think that any one can be a 10...it is hard for human to be 100 percent satisfied, there is always wants and longings for some thing else!

I'm prety happy to be an 8. I figure when I reach 10 I will be dead.
 
Overall...I would say I am at 6.5 and rising. I am happy with my life, but think there is lots of areas that need improvement... 10?!? I don't know is that really a reachable number, or is it just an unreachable goal we put in front of ourselves that always changes when we get closer to it?
 
I have a healthy, loving son. I have a good career in a profession that is very rewarding. But since I have not yet found th right woman, I would give my life a 9. But since I dont have to listen to any bitchin from a nagging wife, maybe my life is a 10.
