Enough already.

Enough already.

All these years I've learned to view life with a critical eye. It's served me well. I'm great at identifying problem areas that can often lead to solutions. But when it's my own life, I'm been identifying too many problems and haven't yet discovered too many solutions...

Perhaps being naturally critical is becoming a major downfall. I have yet to learn to count my blessings and enjoy life a little.

I should be glad. I should be thankful.

If I learn to just stay positive in life, I might find there to be not as many issues that require fixing, or that, even if I choose to fix so many issues, they can be fixed more enjoyably.

I am rather glad, actually, of what I have become. I just need to learn to be prouder.

I'm mighty thankful to be in a job where my natural curiosities carries me through my tasks. I'm forced to read and learn things I would happily enjoy learning anyways. I get to be extremely practical in my work. My knowledge applies to all my surroundings. I have worked for years for a set of skills that has enabled me to handle almost any health question with an approach. And I am mightily thankful to have achieved that.

I am thankful my work doesn't kill me. I have a rather routine schedule, extreme flexibility, and can choose to work as hard or as little as I feel like. I make enjoy to make life comfortable, and enough to allow myself to be generous to the people around me whom I am so indebted to.

I am fortunate have so much opportunities to spend quality time with family at an age when we are all young enough to enjoy each others' craziness. Trips, home rennovations, goofing around. I'm lucky my work has not taken me away from them, allowing me to cherish every moment of every day with them.

I should feel good about what lies ahead. I am in a lucky position that allows me to give as much of myself as I wish into my career. There will be opportunities for furthering career aspirations, and I already have a great job to fall back on. It doesn't matter which decision were correct, or which future decisions is the best. All options have the positives and negatives, but I will always hold the control in the kind of work I wish to do. Finding the positives in whatever I am doing will always yield a happier process. And as we all already know, the secret to happiness is to enjoy the process of life, not the destination.
