Did you think you would be where you are now all be your self? Could you imagine where you are now 10 years ago?

Life, they say is not a bed of roses;All the same,you can always make something real good from what Life had to offer you..My sincere advice is that you be focused,dedicated,hardworking and consistent Life could really be the way you expected it as Fortune attends those who exert themselves.

I've never taken a path in life that didn't offer not only pretty flowers but also nasty weeds. ANY path would have been the same with the flowers-weeds thing. The main thing is how you conducted yourself while traveling on the path you chose. Did you pick the flowers, or leave them there for the next traveler to enjoy? Did you pull out the weeds so the next traveler would find the path easier going?
Life has NEVER been the way I've expected it to be.

No...but I believe it's EXACTLY the way it's suppose to be. I am a year shy of 40 and although I have spent most of those years saying that my life wasn't what I expected, now I look back on every wrong turn, mistake, mishap and smile. I realize it's not what I expected at all...but it has been a great adventure.

Nope...if someone had told me that I would be a 3 time divorcee, I would have laughed in their face. I am now a third time looser at marriage (I left the first one-abused for 6 years, husband 2- left after 10 years of marriage-"fell in love" with his secretary and husband 3- got drunk in Vegas married him and divorced him after 6 months of marriage) so I never plan to marry again. Which makes me very sad.

I have accomplished so much more than i thought i ever would. Now i have the opportunity to start my life in the working world and i hope that i will accomplish more than i want, i cant wait! I also am getting married next week, so the opportunities to share my life with someone else is also great, i never thought that i would get married, (since i never WANTED to get married) but i guess life changes you. You just need to take every setback and opportunity and run with it. Life is crazy, and thats what makes it fun!

Life is much better.
Rough lonely child hood, turned into an adulthood surrounded by love and the richness of good friends and my beautiful family .
In 10 yrs, I will be enjoying the seeds I sewed as a stay at home mother to young daughters. They will be adults and almost adult by then.

absolutely not. 10 years ago, i wouldn't have imagined myself being at university and studying for and graduating with a degree in media studies and at 26 years of age next year, during the summer. in fact, 11 years ago i was totally the opposite- i left school without a single qualification to my name at 16 and felt that university was a long way off for me. if you had asked me 10 years ago that it would take 10 years for me to get to where i am today, i would've been horrified. i wouldn't have believed it- yet here i am today, in my final year at university and alas, my academic year is almost finished. i am half way through. when i was 16-17, i was confused, messed up, and i was not in the right frame of mind. i lost sense of direction and alas, i didn't know where i wanted to go or know who to turn to. i guess, i didn't give in- even though there were people who went against my decision to pursue further and higher education, i still went ahead with it because to me, it was an opportunity where i had to prove my worth to myself and not to prove anything to other people. i felt that despite the unfortunate circumstances that i found myself in, i still went to college and university because it was the neccessary and right thing to do in my eyes. even though there were people who said otherwise.
i couldn't and wouldn't have predicted how far my life has got. thinking about it to this day, i often ask myself whether or not all that crap i have suffered and the fact that it has taken me such a long time to graduate and leave university with honours, has been worth it. yet the answer is that is it WAS worth it. yes it was a long and often painful, excrutiating and emotionally draining experience: i've laughed, cried, was estatic and sad, there were just so many emotions expressed throughout. there were times where i wanted to leave and experienced some mid-life crisis moments of my own.
but you know what? i wouldn't swap all that, as well as my family, friends and my happiness for anything else in the world. as vinny jones said in one of his films: 'it has been emotional'. and it sure was

10 years ago I thought I was going to be a ballerina. :)
Either way, life is what you make it. You have the ability to create and change your life. If you don't like where you are now then step back, look it over, and make changes. If you end up on your death bed with regrets you have no one to blame, but yourself.

not at all. I never expected my first wife to have a child by another man(different race) during our marriage. And the I never expected my second wife to cheat on me while I was in rehab(alkie). And then I never expected everyone to ostricise me for talking about being sexually abused as a child. And then I never expected everyone to tell me I chose to be an alcoholic.
But because of life I now don't expect you to care. thx for the q?, eh?

I never expected to see the up side of 30. But making it to 30, kinda changes your outlook.
Ack! I hate to think what it'll be like at 50!
