Congratulations on moving forward in life. Changes can be extremely daunting however it is also a necessity to life. Change and adapt. I have been in 2 failed unhappy relationships for the past 10 years, could've left sooner however the thought of getting out of my comfort zone terrified me and I stayed in something/someone who made me unhappy. I stayed in a job where I was extremely unappreciated. It wasn't until the ending of my second relationship, I discovered there is a bigger and better world out there for me... It's ME who needed to take that step out of my comfort zone, make the change and embrace into the world of 'unknown'.. Life is unpredictable, embrace those who accepts you even for your flaws but most of all, accept yourself. We all make mistakes and we are all not perfect - the world would be boring if we are all the same. I hope all goes well for you, take each step as it comes and most of all, enjoy life :-)- Posted from rhpmobile

That's very brave of you! Well done. I hope I don't sound to cliche but here goes. For me, even bad decisions can be good decisions, it all depends on the way you look at it. You learn from everything you do, so even if something caused you pain, etc there are still positive things you have learned. Even if it is to understand your self better, or learn what it is you don't want. Don't regret anything. Pursuit of happiness and a meaningful life, for me hasn't anything to do with material wealth. It's about family, friends and giving back to the community. I have only just this morning decided to concentrate more on the last point. Looks like you need to spend some time on yourself. I stink something a lot of women don't do actually. So, fantastic. And i think it was you that wanted to travel, It is a fabulous idea. Go for it.

Auto correct you suck the fat one! Stink should be think. Actually another important thing for me. Don't stress about things you can't change.

Thank you for sharing.Yes it's is a beautiful thing when we get to a beautiful place. For me I see the world in a whole new light!I see beauty each day in those little things, small things that make a difference. I can't explain it really.My life right now is filled with so much joy, happiness and gratitude.The thing what I love the most is that I have discovered who I am.I like me.I have spent the time to really get to know me.There are some things I don't like and that's Ok,cause it just means I am not perfect.But I am happy to just be me!One thing I do know is those people in my life accept me for who I am.I couldn't ask for anything better.Hope you get to where you want to go, Life is too short not to try new things.FOXY

What's a comfort zone ? Not sure I'd recognize one if it bit me on the bum. (I make it a habit to avoid them.....)- Posted from rhpmobile

to live in the moment and appreciate what and who I am, no matter how I got here. It also means having faith that through love, hard work, compassion and more love, I can be whatever I want in my future. I also make sure that I surround myself with positive people. Life's too short to have energy sucked from my spirit. I'm always happy to share it, but I won't have it taken from me.

~You only live once~I think having lived in a third world country and fleeing it as a refugee has taught me to appreciate my life more than those who have not seen poverty or hunger. But what really changed my life was living with and caring for a loved one with a terminal illness. It opened my eyes to so much that we take for granted. Imagine knowing you might not see the next sunrise. Imagine knowing you won't see your children graduate, become adults, get married, etc.... I learnt to complain less, be more tolerant of others and taking a step back from a brewing quarrel. I learnt not to judge people too quickly. I learnt to accept that life was not meant to be easy and it won't get any easier. I indulge and pamper myself and my children often with the finest foods. (I love my foods, hence I'm a Large! :/)I had always lived by other people's rules of what was morally correct but when my husband lost his battle to cancer leaving me with three sweet angels, I didn't break down or lose it, I became a stronger and more independent person, allowing no one to control me except myself. I became my own boss and have not looked back. Life's just too short....

I used to ride my push bike to and from work rain hail or shine. One particularly stormy cold winters day I stopped at the lights, it was cats and dogs type weather, the wind was howling and the rain was stinging my face. I was warmed by the ride but soaked to the skin. Sitting there waiting for the green light and looking at the peak hour traffic all around I suddenly felt so incredibly sorry for all the poor people in their warm dry cars. Those poor souls, thousands of them, they most likely had no clue what they were missing. Mother nature was embracing me and I felt like the luckiest man alive. Comfort is a matter of perspective, I could have taken my car but I stayed in my comfort zone riding. In my late 20's I on a whim decided I needed to learn to surf. I quit my well paid programming job, moved back to Western Australia, got a low paying job in a video store so that I could have more flexible hours. Rented a house overlooking the beach in scarborough. Life was hard as I was used to having money but OMG that was an amazing 4 years of my life. Nearly drowned a few times but the endless memories live on forever.Now I am a student. I sold my 2 story home with views over the city on a large large rural block, I had everything a man could want. Now sit in a tiny room in a shared student flat in my third year of a six year double degree. Why.. because I feel I need a get a Ph.D. I want to be a mad scientist and I couldn't be happier.Life is too short, so be ready at a whim to drop everything. Every day brings a new fork in the road and I am always ready to follow the one that looks the most difficult and uncomfortable. My life has gone beyond all my expectation and if I die tomorrow it would be with a smile and contentment.

I think when we have adversity in our life it gives us a scale to measure what its like to have beauty in our life.Life is beautiful, we live in a great country, no war, no poverty compared to the 3rd world.When ever i feel down i think of the below points.*If you have a roof over your head *If you have any money in the bank*If you have 1 meal a dayYou live in the top 5% of the world population. That's a big eye opener and should make people realise how lucky in life they are. For me ,life is watching the waves crash on the beach,seeing a bee buzz around a flower ,or hearing rain drops fall and thunder sound.Your the only person who can make yourself happy. No man or woman can make your life complete.You need to do that for yourself.Surround yourself with positive people ,and stay away from negative people.Life can only get better !Regards

Many waste there lives but most do it by choice so good on you for the change. Just a slight change in topic as I hate standing in lines and all I do is stand in lines because of credit cards to be processed. Then they don't have enough money in the account so you wait even longer. Before the new tap and go I calculated card times and if you start at 18 to 80 you lose almost 5 years of your life waiting for that plastic.. GRRRRRRRRRR

Kudos to all of you, lovely people. DG, I hope they they are ok. Wishing you strength and support. I've learned two things over the years: Don't sweat the small stuff (and it's mostly small stuff), and Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck. For some reason reading this just made me tear up. x

Deserves a second chance, everyone. If you really care for someone, set them free and let yourself wander this amazing planet we live on and give yourself the chance to fly...........

Brilliant point Kizza. We indeed are the very very lucky. Lets hope Australia decides to share it's wealth a bit with those more unfortunate than us...... instead of sending them to PNG.
