I feel I have failed my family in the past. I was not there for them when i should have been. I done many things I regret. i just have to live with it. i cannot change the past, but i can change the future. i have since turned my life over to God. i am now a new mother and much better to everyone!

I have found it has given me a tremendous freedom that I never had before.  When I was younger I cared too much about what others thought about practically every aspect of my life.  I let that affect most of the decisions that I made.  Now I realize that being happy and making those around me happy is what really counts.  I don't care very much any more about impressing people with looks, money, what I say, what I do, etc.  What a relief it has been!

Living every moment as if it is your last. Simply because you never know. For me that is sharing all I can with my hubby, our friendship, our dreams, our wishes, and most importantly our love. Every one will find their own enjoyment. For some it may be nothing more than partying every night, but that will eventually wear thin when they start feeling like cr.p every day..

What has touched and affected my life?  I wouldn't say one thing in general did, but I'd say that the culmination of the last four years has.  For example, I've learned that you really should live life to the fullest and enjoy every second of it.  I've also learned you should challenge yourself and take risks and finally, you should do something meaningful everyday no matter how big or small.

If I could change something about my life, it would be to do with my self-confidence.  I have never felt important or felt like I had anything special to offer other people.  I have had several bouts of depression in which case each one seems to be harder to get through than the one before.\n\nI am being married next month and the one thing that is really important to me at the wedding is that I feel beautiful when my pictures are being taken.  I know it sounds very superficial and I understand that.  I can count on both hands how many times I have been told that I was beautiful and actually felt it.  I want to be able to look back at the pictures and think that I am a beautiful woman, inside and out. \n\n I live in Eastern Canada and I do not believe that we have a shortage of resources here or anything like that.  In order for me to get stronger emotionally and mentally, I think I would have to be able to meet with a counselor and talk things out.  Because of the fact that I am 21 years old, I feel that it is a great time for me to gain the self-confidence that I have always longed for.  I want to get this resolved before I have children as I do not want them to go through life following my example of being the person who couldn't stand up for herself or give her opinion.  When my children look at me, I want them to see a strong and confident woman who they look up to.

being able to claim Jesus as my Savior....I am presently thankful for everything....God has granted me with a few talents, but I don't like people who blow their own horns, I won't impose that on you....we all have talents...every day I wake up, it is a dream fulfilled.\n\n►◄●►

When I was 21 yrs old I lost four ppl I loved deeply in a house fire.  I learned from that to never take anyone for granted and to truly enjoy life when it is good.

I feel like I left myself behind.........with raising a family and working full-time.  Sometimes I regret it, other times not.  I guess it's called being a responsible adult.

Well I just kept boosting myself up.  I use to feel the same way.  Then I learned you only have one life and if you spend the whole time being sorry for yourself you miss out on tons of awesome experiences.

Where do I start?\n-Love (I dont think I love the person I'm with)\n-Money (I never seem to have enough)\n-Comfort (Nah I just dont feel it)\n-Security (I feel as if everything has been rented out to me)\n-Happiness (What's that?)\n\nI'm truly sorry Lord to complain but really these things are missing in my life. I'm still praying though for better days to come.

Actually, I had an experience that really defined for me the way God works in our lives.  I was at a crossroads in my life, having walked away from a job with no real place to go.  I found myself living with my parents again, and doing some very menial and mindless work.  The whole situation was as depressing as you can imagine.  In the midst of all of this, on a particularly difficult day, I was considering a move back to a city where I had once lived.  I heard a voice say to me, "Just go, and it will be all right."  It was as clear as anything I'd ever heard anyone say to me, but I know it came from inside me.  It seemed so certain, yet calm.  I decided to make the move, with little money, a few possessions and no expectation of anything, other than a place to live with a relative.  Within a couple of weeks, I had found work in my profession with someone who mentored and guided me to a higher level of performance, and the sustaining of my career for over twenty years.  Thanks to that opportunity, I also met the woman who would be the love of my life. That moment--and that voice--I feel defined the rest of my life for the better. I'm sure there are many "logical" explanations of how this might have occured.  In the end, it's about how it makes you feel.  There was nothing like that moment, and sadly, nothing remotely like it since.  I am utterly convinced it was God, pointing to an open door and saying, "Trust Me".  I'm utterly grateful I did.

Sometimes you have to get caught up in the blah, to appreciate the good.  I am not suggesting dwell on the blah's, but learn from them so you can do better next time.  I love life, I love my children's life, I love my husband's life.  I thank god every day for my wonderful life, and when I think I have it bad, I can think of others that have it ten times worse then I do.  This is always a humbleing experience.  Life in my opinion is a gift, and I fully plan to appreciate every day that I have with those that I love.

ive felt like this soo many times in life....for a long time i wallowed in it, wondering what to do. then i started finding things to occupy my mind, like i started exercising by myself, or you know reading and stuff. life sometimes is funny, like you go through things that are sooo miserable, but then later in life, its like wow, that really made me appreciate any piece of happiness i get....i am a better person, and more compassionate i think because i went through some rough times when i was younger.

Honestly, I'm grateful that I'm able to get up in the morning to go to work full time and work on my business part time after graduating college to make the income that I make.\n\nI'm grateful that I have an income. I'm grateful for everything I do and don't have because in the end, it doesn't all belong to me nor will I take anything with me but the deeds that I have done... Praises to God for that! :)

My most valuable possession is my life as a whole!!!!! That includes everything I have up to this point in my life (family, friends, material possessions, job) because everything in my life does not have a value on it because it's priceless!!!!
