Thanks for sharing, I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series to see how you plan develops! It's so easy to place the blame elsewhere, that's what we do, that's what we know. Once you own it, and deal with it.....that's when true growth comes through! Great stuff Jason! Thanks for sharing, I’m really looking forward to the rest of the series to see how you plan develops!

I felt like standing up and applauding (but I didn't because the dog would look at me funny.) :grin: Go for it! With that kind of attitude, you'll do great. :grin: And by the way, sometimes things fall apart for a reason. It can be that we need to clear the decks to make room for the new. But if you focus to the exclusion of all else on what's going wrong instead of actively looking as well for what's going right, then of course life seems to be completely in the toilet 24/7. Try looking for the good stuff as well. Even if all you can find to be grateful for in a day is that you're not pushing up daisies, that's something! :grin: Fantastic post!

I guess I need to think over what I'm doing now and check whether I'm doing the right thing. Besides, I'm waiting for the next post in this series on how you made a plan for yourself. Perhaps, I can get some wisdom from reading it as well. I need to figure out certain things in my life too.

I cannot think of a situation where anyone isn't motivated by "because I want to", unless our motivation is more along the line of "if I do this, it will make me feel good because I believe that.." or perhaps "if I don't do this I won't feel good", or sometimes "It is the right thing to do or it's the best choice at this momement" The frustration comes when our ideal actions or schedule and reality clash. Robert Burns said "The best laid plans of mice and men oft go (gang) awry and leave us ought but grief and pain for promised joy" In Psalms I read "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path."(Even with detours.) One place I worked didn't have any "problems". Those situations were "opportunities". You are taking the opportunity to share - and that's one more thing to add to a "thankful" list.

I cannot tell you enough that I have been in the same boat over the past month. EVERYTHING I touch seems to fall apart and it seems like evil forces are kicking me at every turn. I know that many people are facing troubled times right now, and your post is so greatly appreciated. We go and go and go until we just can't go anymore and sometimes we have to be reminded to stop and "smell the roses". That seems like a corny saying, but it's so true. If we don't stop to see the blessings, and take time to re-evaluate where we're headed, we will never get where we WANT to go. Thanks again!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS POST!!!!

It is actually good therapy for you to blog about this (without giving too many specifics) as it will allow you to chronicle your trials while illustrating to those around you what you are thinking. IOW--it may to difficult to express your feelings to those around you who are hurting because of your actions/inactions, but by writing it here, they can see into your heart and know where you are headed and get behind you on it.
