Hey there, so I'm wondering if anyone else has felt this way in their lives. Have you ever felt that you were just one in the crowd and everyone around you was moving on with their lives for the better. And they are constantly going ahead aiming for what they want. (which is all well and good and that's what meant to happen:))

But you can't do the same because you feel helpless has if your planted to the ground..

Ahh sorry if I'm being vague here but I'd like your feedback.

-cheers:D

Well, yes you are being vague, but I can honestly say I have. Haven't we all? Sometimes we just get stuck. Are you feeling stuck?

We do all have to move forward in life toward a direction that we hope will be for the our own personal best. You just work toward finding your own happiness no matter what that means. It may even be in a direction you never thought you'd go...

Everyone, (on the outside comes across as they are seemingly doing well), looks are sometimes deceiving... we don't always see how hard some people are working to get their own personal happiness. It takes hard work.

It's like a duck... we see the duck moving ever so gracefully forward on the water... but beneath the surface the bird's feet are paddling for it's life!

Sometimes baby steps are required to get me moving. I take one issue at a time and am very happy to have accomplished just that... knowing it's done and I now can move to the next step. Looking at "the whole picture" is sometimes overwhelming and paralyzing.

I am currently selling my home. It's overwhelming me. I take it a step at a time. Every level of this process is looked upon as only what I have to do in the moment... anything more would make me cry:(

I hope I have helped in some way...
