Imagine you have a dream. It is the goal you've sought for years, and it finally comes true. Then, in an instant, you realize it is not what you want.
This has been the course I have been on for the past 6 months. I feel I am stuck, but shouldn't move forward. I have not been able to complete my endeavors, for one reason or another.
The biggest issue: personal time. I am finding out, as a baby boomer, I need to pick and chose very carefully. One poor decision could alter my life dramatically.
I have a hard time sitting still, and am very impulsive. Maybe I need to learn to really have a come to God talk with myself and find out what I think I want is really what I want. I am at a loss for the moment.
I have had amazing opportunities come my way in the past few months.' I have turned all of them down.
I think I want more, and when I get it, I am compelled to turn these opportunities down.
Finances certainly play a part. However, when I had a chance to earn more, I struggled with the lack of balance I would have in my life. I passed. How dare I pass up a career opportunity in this market? Am I nuts?
Then on the housing front, consider the next scenario: I found two dream houses that I wanted. One of which would have been perfect, but I was uncomfortable with the financial commitment and did not accept the counter offer.
How am I feeling? Frustrated. I am beating myself up. What the heck am I doing? Or not doing?
Have you ever been stuck? I found it easier to take risks in the past, but now the thought paralyzes me. I am not so quick to follow through on life altering decisions as I have been in the past.
So, I sit, and wait, and wonder; is this the place I am supposed to be? Is there more out there for me? Should I just pack it in and give up?
I just can't decide. You know what? I hate this indecision, it is weak, and mentally compromising.
I would love to hear your thoughts and feelings about being stuck. On the the flip side, maybe it is a time of renewal, and this do nothing feeling is helping me evaluate my life's path.
I just know I want to get out of neutral soon.
