The Coming of age.
Is it timely to be considering all issues of our life cycle as a birthday draws near? “That time of year again” one side of the brain says, while another, like clockwork reflects on the things you have and haven’t done, achieved or flatly folded. Birthdays have synonymously been a time of reflection, drawn to self-pity and judgment. Another year older and still doing the same thing, still waiting on a pay rise, a promotion, an opportunity, a chance, a career…. Some people, more than others, place more importance on finding the right job, the right house, car, partner, clothes, hair cut… but what if you never end up finding it and you’ve spent all this time searching for it? Is it worth the search?
The thing with searching is not appreciating what you’ve got in front of you. Being in the moment and savoring the situation for all its glory, right here and now. The people in your life, the one’s you love and the one’s you’d rather flick away. The adventure of the search can be reveling.
What happened to celebrating the coming of age? A party where age is announced with excitement and pride, stating your age and proudly adding “and a half!”, making a birthday cake to display your age and being praised for being a year older. Why not this year, make a birthday cake out of your age, with blue, red, pink, yellow icing and line it with smarties and marshmellows....

Charliefrankie thoughts....
How do you figure out what you really want? No, that's not what I want, no... that's not really it either... well what is it?
I sort of want this, with a bit of that and maybe I could have a bit of that other thing too? O'h the confusion, no wonder we can't work out what we really want. So many options, or is it for some a combination of limiting beliefs, self doubt and lack of trust.
Maybe you work it out through trial and error, an elimination process, list of pros and cons?.... or all of the above!
If there were more opportunities to be had, you could at least try these things out, have a taster of what it's like then make up your mind as to whether you want it in your life or not. But what if the opportunities aren't there to begin with, then you just keep spinning around in this not knowing what you want cycle. Modern people of today complain about there being too many choices, and whinge about gen Y having so many jobs, yes it's not ideal for the company to be churning through employees, and doesn't look so good on the gen Y CV, but at least they will have been exposed to many different environments, work places, people etc giving them exposure to variety and enabling them to choose what they really want to do in life...
