life goals - life struggles - life questions

[someplace_else]

Hey there,

I wanted to start a thread about goals in life, which way to go, what keeps us from going the path we want to and maybe struggles on the way (can also be funny ones, of course ).

The connection to Michael is, that he always kept going, even when times were extremely hard and I admire him very much for that and often think about this when I have doubts.

I am writing this, bcs at the Moment I am thinking a lot about my job that costs me a lot of nerves. I feel like people cannot communicate anymore and I am sooo close to just quit my job, buy a house in Norway and be gone forever . Well, that would be the ultimate plan, if there weren't these 1000 things to consider.

What about you guys? Do your like your job? Do you have goals/dreams you don't follow because you are afraid to? Have you already done things that everyone warned you about? How did it go?

Would be happy if we share some experiences here...and I hope I am not in a midlife-crisis, too early

Hi,
Sorry to hear about your situation. I don't have any goals I pursued, but I did find myself in a similar situation. I had a wonderful 7 years at my workplace, and then in the 8th year there was a change in management and things went so sour so quick that I handed in my resignation.
I don't regret doing this but I was so sad about it at the time, as I had 7 great years there. I have since found that all workplaces have there fair share of unbearableness, and I feel I can navigate that better now than I did before.
As the saying goes, when you can't change your situation, it's time to change your perspective.
Also, sometimes better the devil you know than the devil you don't.
I don't know how MJ did it, I would guess his faith in God was a strong factor
Hope things get better for you.

Thanks for your answer, the job is okay I just have to deal with several dumb people and I feel like I should reach for more in life (but already got a plan ).

Sad to hear that your workplace changed so much and you had to find a different one...

Mainly I wanted to start this thread to hear from others, if they have any special goals and maybe we could discuss these things and support each other. I am also interested in what dreams/interests people have ot if they are fine with a "normal" 9 to 5 .
