Not enough?
October 28, 2011Ever feel like your life is just not enough? Like it is inadequate?
The American Dream tells us to grow up, go to school, get a good job, move up the corporate ladder, have a family – 2.5 kids, a dog, and a picket fence, retire.
I grew up, went to school, got a good job, working my way through the ranks, engaged, saving in my 401K…
And it just doesn’t feel like enough. I’m always working, yet I never have enough money. I have a career in my field, yet I feel like I’m not contributing to the world around me.
I want to travel, I want to volunteer, I want to spend time with my family and my dog, I want to live off the grid, to make a difference, work in my garden. I want to have time for the things that matter. But I get up, go to work, come home, begrudgingly make dinner, go to bed, and am too tired for intimacy. What kind of life is this?
What am I missing?
