What is your life like at this point?

Beginning around 2012 my life began to transition. At that time I was going through an identity crisis. I began to question a lot of my choices and the things I had accepted as part of life and as part of myself. I was in an introspective phase that lasted a couple years.

Last year was very transitional for me, I decided to start initiating change in my life. It was a rough year, like a storm. I took a few small steps that led to major changes. On top of that, things kept happening that made everything a touch more difficult - a few deaths, material losses, unveiling of hidden truths and just drama in general.

Now the storm seems to have passed, I have few distractions to worry about and I feel like I learned a lot, yet my life has gone stale. I have the opportunity, at last, to focus on nothing but my future. However, my life is at a standstill. After years of chaos I just don't know what to do now. After all the trials I feel like I should be stronger, I should be taking advantage of the good weather. I have the world at my fingertips, but I have no idea where to begin. I'm lacking motivation and stuck at rest.

Where is your life right now? Have you gone through similar phases?

    "In control of my life", i guess (but always with nagging anxieties of things i've done wrong), the problem is it doesn't really feel like my life. I'm just doing what I'm supposed to... because it would be a terrible waste otherwise... i have no strong interests in this world, i am thankful for life because i know it could be worse, but i just can't seem to feel much of anything in reality... so i might as well use my existence to serve those capable and deserving of happiness... it's all just an act until i can get home and go to sleep... heh

    I lived about 19 years with depression, loneliness and hopelessness, but one day I'd had enough.
    Being a mariner, not a financial wiz, I'd been advised by the professionals to invest in real estate, "It's a safe investment, you can't lose.". So, when I sold everything (in 2009) and walked away with about 10% on the dollar, I was a bit miffed! But it was enough to buy a small sailboat and set up a lifetime annuity.
    Five and a half years later, I'm sailing the Caribbean with a wonderful lady and things couldn't be better. All the mistakes I've made and heartaches I've had, which seemed catastrophic at the time, led me to this point. I'd not change a single thing, if it changed this life I'm living now.
    Hang in there folks; it does get better.

    Confused, also lacking motivation and direction. Not knowing what to persue or where to go. I was yerning for answers but lately ive just been like 'blah what happens happens'. Which sucks cuz I want control of my life as well and I know I cant get it with that attitude.

  • All I can say is that is a strange combination between the worst and best my life has ever been.

    Slow. I haven't really accomplished or done anything with my life yet. But next year I hope to actually start living.

    I'm trying to figure out who I am. I'm not sure if I will figure it out.
