I mention it because I am 46 and am miserable. I feel as if many of my achievements in life were made to make other people happy or impressed. Things like a &#39;way too big&#39; Townhome, BMW Convertible, Zegna suits,huge 401k, girlfriends I dated, wife I married and divorced, an overpaying job that required zero challenges. All of these &quot;things&quot; were why I went to work at age 29 and 36 and 41....and now reality hits. I did way too many things in life to please or accomodate what I thought others felt would make me happy. And so now at 46 I am forced to make changes , I am forced to make myself see what I want . What are my passions ? Do I do triathlons to impress others ? Is this job really worth it for the $ ? <br />Hoefully you can go with your &#39;gut&#39; better than I did. <br />Take care.Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00088264871702253154noreply@blogger.com
