"It could hit you at 25, 45, or upon retirement. But we all come to that point where we analyze where we are in life and ask ourselves "Is this where I expected I would be at this point of my life?' points Matthew Parker Indiana. There are a few people in life whose answer is "yes". Their ability to get what they want when they want it is legendary. Unfortunately, for the rest of us, the answer will usually be a resounding "no". Our careers won't go the way we want. Kids will stray and we probably won't get married by the time we thought we would be married. It tends to be such a stressful and difficult acknowledgement. All around us people tell us if your only work hard enough, if you only take the right course, if you only marry the right person and on and on. But the truth of the matter is that sometimes giving your all just isn't enough. You might have pushed all the right buttons, done all the background work but still ended up with an 'egg in your face'. Whatever the case, don't let anyone tell you it's because you are average or you are lazy or you didn't try hard enough. You and I know it's not because you didn't get the right education or you didn't ask the right questions. Sometimes life just has a mind of its own. "People need to let off the steam and get used to awkwardness. It means learning that we may never have it all and that life will still be fine. That we may have to live with that erratic kid, or put up with this lousy job or have to discontinue that program that we had laid all our hopes in", says Matthew Parker Indiana. Going through this acknowledgement without getting bitter or jaded is a much needed skill in life. To Learn More Details Visit Here : http://www.viadeo.com/en/profile/matthewparkerindiana
