Trapped in this cycle of worry that the years are flying by, im not achieving what i want to, i then best myself up over it, repeat x100000

I have 2 gorgeous kids, a happy relationship , nice house, its all good stuff, yet i want more, a career, more focus & self discipline, confidence, i want to feel like im choosing my life, but it is choosing me.

Ive tried so many times, then give up, then think well this is me, im not capable of achieving what i want.

How do people do it.

This probably reads as a complete mess. Im a mess.

I was reading Reddit this morning and came across this. www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/y0ofp7/last_night_i_took_a_late_night_flight/

It has given me lots to think about regarding my own future and made me feel proud of being a woman.

Hang in there. Be proud of all your achievements (and sometimes you do have to acknowledge them to yourself because no one else does). I wish you the very best.

The one thing that stands out is you ‘want’ more. Lots of people want things but don’t get them.
It’s fine to look to better yourself, but it doesn’t mean you’ll get it.
Look at the positive things you already have, and don’t be disappointed in what you don’t get.
