    Hi everyone,
    I am new here, just stumbled across this site actually and really like what I see.
    My problem, or one of my main problems…is that lately I feel like I’m stuck. I’m 27 years old, I’m at this point in my life where I feel like I need to make the right choices that will truly affect the future. There is so much to it but I don’t have the energy to lay it all out quite yet. I just am having trouble figuring out what is the right path. I’m married, I have a job that could be gone (regulation process, if I’m not regulated by 2015 I’m out of the job), we have a house being built, and I have the possibility of moving out of province in about a year or two. It sounds not so bad other than the job stress but it’s so scary at this point. I feel lost most days like I waste each day just worrying if what I’m doing is right. And the thing is, I know I should be more than this. Just looking for some comfort here, maybe? I’m not even sure.

    hi Rachel,
    Know that you’re not alone in feeling stuck and confused. So many of us go through these times in life when we’re questioning-seeking-and you can look at it as an opportunity for clarity and growth.

    Your comment, “I know I should be more than this”, stands out for me. I invite you to take a look at what underlies that statement. It seems like there are a lot of expectations and assumptions about ‘who you were supposed to be and what you should have accomplished by age 30’…it sounds familiar to me because I’ve been there.

    From the outside looking in, you sound like an extremely successful person who has her stuff together. The problem is when the success we’ve created is based more on what others want than what really matters to us.

    Over time, our priorities change. Maybe now is the time to step away from the outside pressures and expectations, get quiet and really reflect on what you want, how you want to feel, what matters to you, what genuine success would look and feel like to you now. When you have that clarity, decision making will be a bit easier.

    Now in my mid forties, I’m realizing that there is no ‘right path’. The best we can do is make decisions that feel right to us at this time, stay in motion, reflect, and keep going through the process. It’s an ongoing journey. Create your own path. You get to choose what that looks like. I know it can feel scary. Trust yourself.
