has your life worked out the way you've envisioned it?

Question

kind of like...having your deepest dreams come true or having to go a completely different way...

Answer 1

certainly not...I envisioned many things different for myself. Fortunately I believe that life is a process of creation and we are creating our own destinys with every single thought or action. I think that dreams change and grow... my certainly have. I know that realizing your dreams is not about the destintaion, but rather the journey

Answer 2

Yes. I always wanted to be a writer and wanted my writings published and for myself to become known because of it. My deepest dream came true but in a different way. Although I don't have my own novels, I write news letters for a drop in center for people with mental illnesses. My newsletters get sent out all over to the state of Michigan to different drop in centers and Mental Health facilities. I'm also a president on the board and I help come up with activies for the people of this drop in center while being a wife an a mother of 2 children. One being eight years old in girl scouts and I have a four in a half month old baby girl. There is no money involved in all I do but I find fullfillment in it while still making plenty of time for my family so yes my life has worked out in a way I envisioned it. It has become better infact.

Answer 3

No.
Perfect effort and perfect plans can always be thwarted by other people who lack a conscience.

I've found that self-centered, manipulative women, with an underdeveloped conscience are supremely capable of destroying men's lives.

The funny part is that the women, unlike in the soap operas, never see themselves as victimizers. It's of no solace though, that these women often end up as lonely old bags after their allure has left them and after financial support tapers away once the children become of legal age. Selfish old women work at Target since they never learned to do anything but leech. At that point in time, two victims arise - the man and the selfish woman. It's a tragedy for both and more prevalent in our society than Oprah, Dr Phil, or the church seem to realize.

Answer 4

Though I don't think I ever created the "Grand Plan" for myself, I would that, yes, most of my dreams have come true, or they are in the process of happening. There is always the path I didn't choose, but I try to focus on what I have and where I'm going rather than what could have been.

Answer 5

Yes, it has been the way I dreamed it would be but, did not come along in the way I had planned it to happen but, I'm here where I wanted to be and have everything I ever wanted....but, that too has come to pass and everything is changing and I don't know what to expect next but, I know it's gonna be good...even better than I ever dreamed.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose, under Heaven.

Today is my birthday. Thanks for asking this.

Answer 6

I don't remember how I envisioned my life. It kept changing radically several times that I've lost sight of what I actually envisioned. I'm happy with the way it is though right now. That's good enough for me. :-)

Answer 7

No. That lover you wanted, those riches you coveted, that fame you desired, well, it was never going to happen.

We have a unique ability to imagine ourselves into situations that don't accord with reality. But we mustn't stop dreaming.

You've got to have a dream.

Answer 8

The only thing that has worked out the way I always knew that it would is that I have two daughters. Everything else is just wrong.

Answer 9

Not really. My grandma died; I was expecting that, but I didn't want it to happen. And right now, I am struggling with guy problems.

Answer 10

No it hasn't. It's been an interesting 34 years though...
