So a friend asked me today - how's life?
Interesting question - ultimately, it asks a very personal question: are you happy?
To be honest, I can't really say that I am. I'm definitely content.... but happy?
I compare my wants and wishes, versus what I need and have:
I have a loving family, awesome friends, and a decent-paying job. I get by.
But is this the job I want, the future I desire, the life that I want to lead?
Probably not.
Someone once said that each job has it's "residency."
I am in mine - low paying, hard work, no recognition. Just putting in my time til I can cash out.
Things could be worse, but they could definitely be better.
I think the worst part of it is, I'm stuck.
I want to move, but too scared to do it on my own,
I want a new job, but I need to stay to complete my CPA,
I want more free time, but my job doesn't allow that,
I want .... the list goes on, and so do my excuses.
