Thinking things thru

so the journey of life continues with responsibility, accountability, accuracy, criteria, organization, does it make sense, whats the theoretical, how do I approach it to get the results I want, how convincing am I, with data, words, confidence?

ahhh that proverbial life that everyone strives for...so you are all fired up right out of preschool into grade school and middle school and high school earning good grades, so you can get into a good college and declare a major that will earn you a degree...with that you hope to find a decent job with good pay...then you realize that work is that, hard work, whether it is blue collar or white collar...so you decide to invest in a home, start a family, raise kids, and the cycle starts all over again. At the end of your life you, you leave behind (God willing) a circle of family and friends who knew you, who loved you, who supported you, with strong values of right and wrong, good decision making, and commitment to excellence and making your kids life better. so where am I in this process of life? why have I not committed to anything since graduating from college? Did my dreams fall at the wayside? What is really important to me? Is it to experience life outside of work? To find out what I am made of, to work with what I have in my life-my limited knowledge, my limited skills, my limited education, and when is enough enough? When I own a home, have a job I enjoy working 40hours per week, have a family that brings security and joy to my life, and kids and a partner that will take care of me when I am old and feeble.
