I'm discontent too goddam it! (In reference to comments you made on "who would you like to meet..." on the misc board).

It sounds like your job is interesting and creative but maybe you have been doing it for too long and maybe the only thing keeping you there is the almight dollar, in which case, you've got to ask yourself, is it really going to make you happy? Ok, i suppose it eases the pain, lol. Well, now that you have everything that you want, you need somebody to share it with 😉

im not sure what im going to do about work.....its just that i have been down all the roads that i thought i wanted to go down and got involved in the things i thought i should and i think i feel worse now than before. like blah. maybe i am just lonely. success or acomplishment are better if u have someone to share it with. i want to have something to get excited about.

Yeah, i think you can only do so much for yourself before you realise that it is nice to have the adoration and moral support of someone you feel close to. I think that maybe you are feeling discontent because you are not doing what you 'truely' want to do. Yes your job gives you lots of money, but i believe we all have a vocation we want to fulfil on this earth and i feel that you will feel discontent if you are not fulfilling it. These things could be different for everyone. For one person it may be looking after people so they go into nursing. For another, it might be creating something, so they become an artist. For others it may be bossing people around so they open a business and order people around.

Time and time again you hear about people chasing the almighty dollar, and they are still not happy. Sloane raises some imnportant issues about fulfilling your potential on the libra board.

Ahhh, I've just realised you've said "shoulds" instead of "wants". Why don't you make sure you are finacially secure and go and do what you really want to do. Let your heart speak to you.

What is that 'same thing' Morgan? I am enchanted! Love? Maybe. Life style - definately! Peace of mind - definately. I suppose everybody is looking for a 'soul mate' deep down underneath, but if you expect nothing, you won't get disappointed.

I like the way Boston put it:

"Peace of Mind"

Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying
Future's coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin'
Can't decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can'tcha you see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People li vin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin'
Doesn't mean too much to me
Lot's of people out to make-believe they're livin'
Can't decide who they should be.

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People li vin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead. look ahead
