Hmmmm. I've been on this planet a long time, loengr than I care to admit. One of the things I have learned is that "life is a journey, not a destination." No matter how much you may want to plan for the future, life has a path all its' own. The secret is in knowing that you are on that path, the right path. Trying to plan out your life, to get to point B by time X does not work. Most people who do that end up living a wasted life and an unhappy life because once you get to point B, it may not be what you expected, and that happens a lot. You will know the right path of your life if the events that occur are "easy". And, by that I mean that things fall your way almost without effort, without even trying. If you have to struggle to attain something, that something was not meant to be. And, even if you get it in the end, it turns out to be problematic in one way or another. All you have to do is look at all the people who get what they always wanted, but are in so many ways unfulfilled because their "destination" is not what they expected. They often lament the fact that they were so much happier when they were... The journey, the "hungry years".I find that the main thing in life is to be happy where you are, what you are doing, who you are with, what you have. If you have all those things now, relish them, enjoy them, live them, and don't throw it all away for an uncertain future that may, or may not, be the right "path". You're on the "journey" now if this is it. The "destination" is unimportant at this rate. This is the secret of life!
