Incomplete
by Carole Pagan
At times in our lives, we reach a point where we feel
incomplete – lost.
It can be triggered by-
* Friends moving away
* Our kids growing up and moving out
* Divorce
* Loss of a job, especially if it was a career
* Death of a parent, friend or spouse
As teenagers and young adults, we’re focused on fitting
in with peers and constructing our lives.
Then kids come along and we focus on their needs. At
the same time, most of us have parents that need care.
Then suddenly, we’re left standing in a field – not knowing
which way to go. Many of us have never really taken the
time to think about what YOU want. What is it that would
make YOU happy?
Many people just shrug and resort to somehow passing
the time until they die.
How do you be yourself, for yourself? Most people have
no idea. You’ve been so busy building your life around
what others think and need, and trying to keep them
happy that you’ve been lost in life’s shuffle.
Instead of focusing on the way of life you’re lost, focus
on what doors that opens up for you. What can you do
that you always wanted to do, but couldn’t because of
the demands you used to be under?
Here’s some of the things I hear –
* Start an eBay business
* Write a book
* Paint a picture
* Redecorate
* Travel
* Gardening
* Read more
* Go back to school
What do you want to do? For You?
Go for it!

One day I asked my husband how come he knew so much. "Because I've made more mistakes than other people," he replied. Over the years that remark has stuck with me especially at times when I am pondering my contribution to some disaster and find myself muttering "I'll never do that again!"
