Do you ever feel like someone else could do a much better job with your life than you are doing?

Question

I do. I feel like if someone else had my circumstances, talents, and resources, they would make much better use of them than I currently manage to do. I feel like I'm not utilizing all I have to the maximum potential. Do you ever feel this way?

Answer 1

YES - Not only me every one feel in similar way. We may tell other that we are doing this one and one that one etc. etc., to get some appreciation or favour from the other person, but all of us in our heart feel and not satisfied whatever done so far and feel that we should have performed better in some field or other to earn money, name, fame etc,.

I also FEEL SO. -

Answer 2

Why put yourself down? Do you want some else to be in the drivers' seat. Too much maximizing creates too much minimizing.Success is personal achievement. It is not a universal standard one size fits all. Add up all your strengths great and small.I play my melodica but I won't be a musician.My Spanish isn't fluent I'll never be a linguist.I like astronomy but I'm not Stephen Hawking.But if I add these up I like what I see some one who has succeeded.I may not be a golden coin I am a piggy bank full of pennies.Each time you put a penny in your piggy bank it will some day become a golden coin.Peace

Answer 3

I feel that ALL the time! .... but I don't think someone else would have done better than me if they were in my shoes. I feel like I need something more, to be more motivated from the heart. Reading the lovely questions and answers in Y!A helps.

Answer 4

Yes I do. Right now in fact. I feel that I just messed everything up that's important to me and that someone else would do a better job at me than me

Answer 5

Yes due to poor health sometimes I wish I could do so much more. But I try to be grateful for what I can do. Sometime it is just karma we have to deal with. Other times it is so God (also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, etc.) can show us we are not the big controller, so we have to surrender more. He is All Good.

Answer 6

I feel the same as you, i feel what I can do is just a peak of the iceburg.
I prayed to god to guide me into my lifes
thing to do in life at its fullest potential and it
seems that god doesnt want me to know my future, because I would just mess it all up.

Answer 7

Not really. I usually wish I just looked a little different or had some more money. I feel i've done pretty well with my life so far.

Answer 8

We are all different at how we do things - thats what makes us unique. Accept the talent and knowledge you have, and use it the way you know how.

Don't compare your self to others - you will only ever let yourself down. "No expectations means no let downs."

Answer 9

Most Definitely, but I think most people feel this way. Everyone has regrets on actions or choices they have made. What ifs are normal. I am sure you are living your life just fine.

Answer 10

Yes.

I've been waiting for my replacement for the last 3 years now, and I am really stacking up the overtime, I tell you!
