Have you come up short in life somehow and how so?

Question

ohsheeT · Accepted Answer

We always come up short that's who we are as people because of our society rules and the way that we look at things and the way that we treat other people and treat ourselves it just seems to happen that way

Because we haven't taken the steps to learn everything that we're supposed to learn so there's areas that we have to go back to and learn again so those are things that hold us back plus ourselves we hold ourselves back too for whatever reasons only we know.. and sometimes we don't but if you really think about it

We don't come up short we just we come up to a plateau a level until we find that one thing that we're supposed to learn again and then that way we can go forward you know as well as I do this moments in your life where you are in the zone and things are great.

And I also think all of us are maybe afraid to succeed to a point so we hold ourselves back somehow whether it's through energy the universe or who we are as people I think maybe some of us are too afraid to take that big giant step and just deal with it whatever happens we're kind of comfortable kind of people I think except for I don't like being that person I like to have new boundaries new options new everything new experiences and then learn learn from them I mean everything's nothing but a big learning lesson everything everything is the same except it's different.

So maybe we have to take bigger bigger steps bigger gambles bigger everything to get past that little coming up short thing I don't know it's worth a try

Or are you talking about when you go to McDonald's and you're trying to get an ice cream cone but you're like 10 cents short and you have to say f****** McDonald's wrap up blah blah blah.. I'm sure

Are you talking about your new boyfriend you start making out pretty soon he gets up get stressed and says okay I'll see you tomorrow and you say what and he says thank you and you say what and you say I thought we were going to have sex I thought you were going to start..
And he says start we're already finished and you'll say what and he'll say yeah didn't you feel that that was the best sex we've ever had

And you're going to say I think you came up short because I didn't feel anything LOL

Yeah there's so many different versions of coming up short I guess I guess I shouldn't been so television just thinking one thing it'll help any well I hope all my answers help

I grew up poor and struggled to get through college. I persevered and managed to finally graduate and have a decent career. I married a wonderful woman and we build a very nice home and raised 3 great children. Life had its ups and downs but I really do not feel like I came up short

Some how? 😂 sure… 5 ft tall. My mother reminds me often growing up… I told her it’s from her genetics… then she gets upset 😂

me? I don’t feel that way… I just go ask a taller person to help me out…

other ways? Sure… but I turn everything negative to positive…

there were a few years in my life … during my time of divorce … my hubby wanted to end the marriage…

We were born into a Communism society… so food, stuff were scarce. But I learned at a young age… I became self sufficient at a young age to find foods, work to help out my family.

in America… I went through a bad divorce … no child support or alimony… so I started all over …

Regardless of what happened … I wanted to make sure we still working together to raise kids… and keep the building …

now I have recovered and make sure our kids know that they have a good father and that to keep the family “together” no hates… no regrets but to love each other…

that’s what a successful story come about…. love selfishness. .

I guess I don't consider it falling short. I just always see it as a Back to the drawing board sort of moment... often involving a great deal of laughter in the process.

Ah yes. Many times and not of my own accord sometimes. It could be a supervisor or whatever. I prefer to call them "temporary setbacks." Just keep going.

HungTexan · Answer

I assume you’re not referring to what’s between my legs? Lol

Seriously, I have sometimes had things not go my way, and I’ve felt I could have done better. When this happens, I just work harder to succeed the next time.

marfaret · Answer

it can't be avoided, just a part of life u should pass it. universe proved me, if u release something which has passed, u can grow, that thing attracts u more, like an iron. release it, don't forget the real. wish u pass it without any feelin blue.

suggestions? check "what was i made for" lyrics, last chorus. (BILLIE EILISH)

aceleon · Answer

As a kid, i didn't like what other boys usually liked, cars and soccer, so i never made too much male friends and nowadays i kind of wish i had more.

Surely · Answer

Outside of physical things. I should have invested my money in gold instead of the bank. When it was first offered to be held by individuals. I think that it was around thirty dollars per once at that time.
