On the whole, no, I am not where I wanna be...but where do you start looking..? 
I am quite sure that I don't cheat anyone, either in putting on a front as someone I am not or in using them to get what I want myself. the only person I really sell short is myself, but that's between me and him to sort out.  | |

Can I reconcile my stated principles, opinions and beliefs with the reality that I am experiencing? I believe so, although I guess the point is that we shouldn't become complacent. I try to live a life that's true to my own standards and believe I have quite high goals in this regard. Do I live a secret lifestyle which stands in contrast to my public image? No, not at all, except in one area, which I'm at odds at myself with but I know that others would understand if they knew all the facts - I'm just not ready to reveal them to those around me right now. Am I doing what I resonate with or am I settling for what I am doing? Finally, I'm on the right road I believe, but everything I did before has led me to this point so I don't beat myself up about all the wrong paths I've taken in life. Do people in my life do without so that I can have what I want? Yes, without a doubt. I have to work on this, and require less in order to live. Am I being honest with myself about who I am being? Yes Do I appreciate what I have or do I complain about what I don't have? Both. I definately count my blessings every day and am generally a positive person but on days when I don't feel good, I can get depressed about it. Am I allowing my fullnes to be expressed? In many ways, yes, in some ways, no. Do I take the time to consider my motivations before committing to another? Not always in day-to-day matters, but in affairs of the heart, always Now I'm going to take spend some time to reflect on the answers. | |
