    I know I am not liking about my current situation. I feel it could be better and I could be somewhere in my life. Life is going to go by and it is very short. Do you feel like you like your current situation?

    Back in 2010 all I ever wanted was to quit my job, get back my freedom and do whatever I pleased, any time I wanted. Late in 2013 I got what I wanted, moved out of town and I am enjoying my freedom, peace and . . . life in general. So yeah, I very much like what I am doing right now.

    Some more money too is what I would want to have. I am just wanting to feel less stressed too and just trying to put myself out there is just not working.

    We all have periods of downturns. I'm currently in a "slower period" but I'm expecting that to change in coming months and life to have more momentum again. You can either live in the past and get dragged down by it, worry about the future and get dragged down by it, or you can try to be grateful for what you have (and celebrate the past and get excited by the future).

    That. Live your life now, worry not about the future because the future always is in the future. Technically all that exists is NOW. You can either enjoy it or let it slip by hoping that the future will be different. But there won't be a difference unless you start enjoying your life now. It's what you do now that determines if tomorrow/the future will be any different.

    I am not sure I really like what I do but I definitely do not like it when I get very frustrated with my work. I kind of do not enjoy my work.

    What do you do for work? I currently do not have a job and I wish that I could remedy that.

    Up until last year I felt like I was on a plateau in my life. Things were stagnant and boring. I then found a way to make some more money and get some bills paid off. Now things are a little better and I am getting and doing more. The only thing really lacking at the moment is that I could really use a vacation, but that will come with time.

    I'm quite happy with my professional life. Working in the field I've always wanted to work, the money isn't great but I get by pretty well so it's good enough. Human beings are naturally never satisfied with what they have but that's just the way it is!
