Obviously we all want to do something big in our lives... I think that's just human nature. I know what I'd like to do in order to "make it big", but I also know what kind of sacrifices I would have to give up in order to achieve that. Some of those sacrifices I'm ok with, others I don't think I would enjoy very much. At the same time, that's one of the disadvantages with society today. Everyone has the potential (or so it seems) to become good at anything, and so we tend to immerse ourselves in so many different areas that eventually we reach a breaking point and we're forced to give things up. Life this day in age is so extremely "booked" and crowded, I'm not really sure how we've managed to survive this long. -Nic I’ve kinda looked at life the same way myself lately.

We will be old, but wise beyond our years haha. Erik: Yeah I believe I will be able to plug in with those crews again. I have been meeting with some of those people over the past couple of weeks.

I believe that God will only give us only so much that we can handle because He is always there no matter what. It is just a constant reminder for me because life can be overwhelming. I have never really thought of an underwhelming life, but I'm glad you brought that to my attention. Thanks for the comment and enjoyed your blog! That is an interesting thought to pose.

I truly believe, though, it is like winter time...it looks like nothing is happening. And yet, in the spring, flowers blossom, leaves appear on trees. The winter was necessary to get to the spring. Perhaps instead of calling yourself stuck, you can reframe and say that you are in just the right place. Patience and gratitude are great to remember when you feel this way. Here's to being in the right place and feeling grateful for it! I understand the feeling of being stuck. I truly believe, though, it is like winter time…it looks like nothing is happening.
