I Am Living My Life On Hold

A personal story in the experience: I Feel Like My Life Is On Hold
P erhaps it hasnt always been that way, but in recent years I have felt that my life is on hold. I do have plans, and hopes and dreams but somehow they quite not materialize. I feel like my life is an eternal dress rehearsal and that I will never get to go to the Dance .

I know how you feel. The last three years have flown by, without my having accomplished very much. At least it seems that way.

As for dancing, you can do it anywhere! In the kitchen, in the shower, in the car...LOL! People may look at you like you're crazy, but it's fun!

I think for a lot of people there is a gap between what you want your life to be, what you *think* it should be (sometimes different than what you truly want), the actual choices you make, and the realistic options you have. It seems that if you want to make your dreams happen, pick one and take 1 small action every day in that direction. Meanwhile, find the value in who you are right here and right now.

Part of living is knowing when you need to shed the moth balls.

We all like to be safe and sometimes we want that safeness more than taking the chance of putting a real bet on doing what we want for ourselves. We all want to be looked at certain way. I have found in my life that whenever I wanted to make a change or get on with a dream I had to just do it. I could not keep second guessing myself or I would have never attained anything I wanted.

You always think there is time to wait for this or wait for that but trust me if you really have something you have been wanting to do ... don't waste anymore time. Just find out what is needed and just like Thisbird says start doing something everyday that gets you to that place.

You already have what you need inside pretty much or you would never have thought of it in the first place. There is something very worthwhile in you, underconstruction but; you have to be willing to stand up and defend it, work on it, and make it take you on the ride you know you want to take.

Peace and Much Love to you.

This might be the waiting period, you wait and wonder, all the while working on yourself, polishing your dreams, goals and aspirations, gaining wisdom all the while, then when the timing is right the door opens and there is ballroom with a disco ball, music playing, awaiting your arrival.

I feel the same way. for the past couple of years, I feel my life is been on hold; obstacles gets in the way of getting what I want in life, and one of them is money.
