What were your parents doing at your age?

At my age, my parents had it all. They were new parents to two young children, Dad had his business going strongly, Mum had some time in the workforce but mostly just being a housewife, and they had community connections in our town and within our church. They really had it all figured out, but it hadn’t been that long before this age that they were childless and moving interstate to start on a new life path.

I compare this time with where my life is now. I have adult children who are reasonably self-sufficient and I have just started my career four years ago. I don’t think I would be where I am today if it wasn’t for my husband, but now he has passed onto the afterlife and I am just trying to find out who I am again.

I always did life in a backwards way. I had children young, went through some horrible relationships, met Steve, and finally got my life back on track.

That is where the ability to turn your life around comes in. If I compare my life to my parents’ life too harshly, I will always feel as though I’m not good enough. That is a debilitating way to view it though. Perhaps everything in my life has manifested or perspired the way it was meant to be. I don’t have to judge my every move based on someone else’s ideals and I should be at peace with where I am and what I do in life right now.

I am where I am meant to be, and that is good enough.

For now, I will leave you with this quote:

“Sometimes we can only find our true direction when we let the wind of change carry us.”
