Knowing none who actually ended up where they thought they would be over 10 years. Three high-school friends seem to have given up because they were not successful enough, two tossing career/spouse/friends/family and now angry at the world.
Accessing your life is always disappointing to all those with any drive and imagination. Decisions that might have been a leap forward if only taken, others taken that wasted years. Learning to be satisfied in attempts to make the best decision at the time with what is known and then the next, that it is a bit like stumbling around. You try to take a good forward step each time, but it is only years later you can look back at how you did.
From here I've watch some pretty bold steps and a couple pure leaps of faith. Thinking you are now further along than most, but yes, not where you want to be. So, you have taken another step in a generally forward direction with a confidence and mental viewpoint you didn't have ten years ago. The then you likely could not have.
Now, if you ever get love and friendship figured out... let me know, I am experienced but still in need of help in that area.
