Far too many people do not stop long enough in their lives to listen to the signs.  Life gives you signs if you are moving into the right or wrong direction and if you don't listen, you will be lost forever and there is seldom a way back. 

If things don't seem right or don't feel right then it's probably not right, it would be a mistake to try and justify those feelings.  LISTEN to the signs!  It is that important. 

You know how you wish you could be happy for someone, you try and find a way to make things alright but you know deep down in the bottom of your soul it just isn't alright?  I am not one of those people who can pretend for the sake of keeping the peace.  

I feel very sad that some people feel they have to do something with their lives for ALL the wrong reasons. 

But this is why life gives us signs so you need to listen to them if you are not the kind of person who reaches down inside yourself seeking the truth.  If you are not made that way then look closely around you, listen close, pay attention and foremost, stop listening to other people telling you what you are, who you are, what you should be doing.  Each of us has the ability to choose for themselves, but some of us are afraid so they let others choose for them.  

I am not ashamed to say I am fifty three years young and my life is far from over.  I just reached middle age and have so much life ahead of me.  I want to travel, learn new things, learning more cooking, photography, do all the things I couldn't do when I was raising up children.  I have not reached my golden years yet, there is way too much ahead before I knock on that door.  So I will not make impulsive decisions based on my age.....

I feel so frustrated by people who think they need to do something in a hurry because they are getting old. NOT a good reason to make life altering decisions, most especially if it comes between you and the people you love.
