My next day off work. I will give a few hours of my time to try that.
Thank you

How do people decide what career they want to do most? Lol

If you are LUCKY you are your own boss and do what you love. Most of us play it by ear and do what we can. Nothing is permanent and every time you think it is or you have it figured out it will change.

I am doing exactly what I swore 6 years ago I would NEVER do. It was what everyone else wanted to do but not me; working with routers. Be careful what you say you wont do, life has a way of playing nasty tricks on you. Hind site I love it, not because it's routers but because of all the free time and the work environment.

Because you are not doing exactly what you WANT to be doing or where you think you should be at is a good thing. If you were what goals would you have? Keep working and striving for what you want. If you reach it then you have not set your goals high enough. What I want to be when I grow up is healthy, retired with enough money to enjoy life before I'm to old to do so. I dont have much time left.

It depends on what you're interested in, but there is also compromises to everything too. The world is never exactly as you plan it. But the thing comes down to, how would you know what you want in life, if you never invest time thinking about it? It's not necessarily meant to only be about your career choices, but just things in general.

Sometimes you choose your Carree/job not because you love it but so you can do the things you love.

I'm sorry but isn't life generally shit and we live for that 1% that makes it all worth while. Well, I know I do. I'm living away from home for the past 3 years away from friends and family and live to work during the week but I go home at weekends and make up for it. Also try and see the positive in life rather than the negative it is easier to find the negative than the positive generally to be honest.

That is so true but I think you still have to find what you love and try to do it before your too old and are looking back at your youth thinking why didn't I do this and that.

You know what you should do, is this weekend go out in to the hills or someplace secluded with a notebook and pen. Go for a long hike by yourself and think about what you want in life and how you can accomplish it. Then write everything down including the method in a notebook. When you come back, start to focus on the prescription you wrote for yourself on that hike. Trust me, this works.

Sounds like some advice my dad gave me when I was younger. He also added......don't take any beer with you. LOL!!!

Yes, life can certainly suck; However we are significantly victimized by ourselves rather than our environment... and we have far more choice over our situations that what we realize. Today (March 2) would have been Dr. Seuss birthday... here is one of my favorite quotes that is relevant and applicable to all of us:

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own.
And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.”

Good quote.

Exactly bud, hindsight is 20/20, if you have enough money to do what you like to a certain degree and enjoy what you are doing and have some friends etc life is good, I have decided to stop being negative and be more positive it makes life a hell of a lot easier to be honest. And you know what it's great. I used be too busyt looking at why everything is shit but greats to change your mind and see the positives and I know it's a cliche but there is always someone worse than you having a shitter time than you.

I know my place in life and I'm not going to be a multi millionaire to be honest I don't want to be one. I know plenty of them and the amount of crap they have to deal with is unreal. And even a buddy of mine who was a proper multi millionaire ie went out and bought a brand new M5 with cash in a bag one day over here they are over 150k US with any extras on them, he had a 600bhp Supra and a 22B Impreza and a few other normal cars to just drive around in and his business went under. He now works as an Area manager for a Quarry company and he loves it. As he doesn't have to worry about where the next job will come from to pay his staff, the lorries they had on the road which was over 20 of them and to pay for all the plant he used have.

He earns decent money now and is happy with that, can take all his holidays with out being worried about the business or having stupid phone calls from the people who used work there etc. And to be honest I'd agree with him. I meet people who own their own businesses and they all want out it's not paying them a wage anymore.

know what else i believe?

everyone is primarily responsible for their life and how it turns out. there are some obvious exceptions, and they are on the fringe. but in general i believe that to be a true statement.

life is all about decisions that you have made. so if you feel your life sucks, then stop being an observer and take action. you can either be a winner or a loser. which one is it?
