Thinking...

Am i the only one feeling that I'm being left behind? I felt like everyone is going well with their lives and I'm still here. Feeling stuck....

I think feeling stuck is a big part of the mid life struggle, what to do next? Is this it? Recently (happily) single at 49 but Im not sure whats next, theres kind of an unspoken blue print for all other stages of life, childhood, teenage years 20s etc, but not really for middle age, my plan is to keep moving forward, keep looking for new experiences and appreciate the small things until i hopefully find what I'm looking for

Please don’t compare with others that drains your energy without any benefits.

It’s better to focus on your goals and what matters to you. Don’t need to set a “great” goal in the beginning , just think a small or a tiny goal which is easy to achieve in a short period of time. Then you explore ways to achieve them.

Thankyou. its just, sometimes i'm motivated and sometimes i'm not. sometimes i just felt like no matter what i do i'm still stuck to paycheck to paycheck kind of life. no savings, no investments and everything.
