Do you think you’ve accomplished a lot for your age?

[jackieistired]

I honestly feel like I’ve accomplished nothing. I feel like with high school with getting test and stuff, I had things I could look forward to but now being an adult. The pressure is on to make my life what I want and you have to go against people who are like 50/70 and it’s a rat race.

Then you have to think about a family. Then having your own home. It’s just very stressful. Who would’ve thought having more options would be a bad thing but to me, it seems like it is. I just wish I could feel accomplished and in love and financially set but the way everything is, the bar is raised every day and omg, trying to make friends when you’re not in a controlled environment is next to impossible. I can rant forever and ever

Yes

No

Getting there!

I do not feel like I've accomplished a lot for my age. I feel like that's my own fault, it was not ever the plan.

You are at an age where its very normal to feel this way. I won't tell you that its not a rat-race. It is.

Too many options is not as bad a problem as you think it is. There was a point when I was your age, where I felt the same way. I do know what you mean. I really do.

Having experienced both; I can tell you, that having too many options is way better than not having enough options.

I felt the same way at 22. At 40 this sounds like somebody at the very begining. Just starting off as an adult. What could you possibly have hoped to accomplish by 22? Graduate high school, then either post-secondary, or entry level position at some job. You're not supposed to have done anything yet. You're just starting out.

You will get curveballs thrown your way. Things are unlikely to go according to the plan you make. All you can do is try and navigate things as well as you can. That's what everything up to now was preparing you for. You know everything you need to know to figure out how to navigate life that is indeed a rat-race, but is also full of unexpected things (good and bad).

You have learned everything you need to make your best effort to build the life you want for yourself. Don't be getting discouraged. You're still in the starting-gate. But you're ready. Keep doing the 'next right thing' and you'll be just fine. Even if its hard to see how that's all going to come together.

Good luck

🙂

I have been so blessed... I have done so many things I have experienced life in so many different ways I can build anything with my hands I have been to some of the most beautiful places

People Absolutely, though places people . I have been to seen and done the things I have done. I thank God for every thing because he has guided me in so many ways.

And I do so with all of heart... and at the same time. There is so much more I want to experience. And become.

One of the key factors it to love yourselves find your self. And put your heart and brain on the same page together. And your world will take off like you would never. Believe and smile

Yes, and I don't think I can do much more at this stage in my life.

I think I've managed to get myself at a comfortable position in the sense, having some allowed flexibility, I am content for the most part, yes...

No, in fact, it took me a long time to get into medical school.

Yes, I have a way higher credit score than people my age, I’ve saved and invested way more money than people my age, and I make more money than most people my age. And I’m in good shape.
