That is how I feel,

not in a terrible way, a fatalistic way, a depressing way,

but in a truthful sense.

I have, at the very least, not yet, lived up to any of my potential.

Do you feel accomplished?

Living up to other's potential will drive you crazy or drive you to your grave....Live up to what is inside of YOU!!!!

It is good to have the praise of others for meeting goals and/or accomplishments, but You have to look at yourself in the mirror...


Find your place and be proud of who YOU are.....You have plenty of time to be accomplished!!!

Do I fee accomplished? In some ways, and no tso much in other ways!!!!

It will get better.....flowerforyou

in comparison to others no i dont feel very accomplished...but thats the thing....never compare yourself to others because there is no one like you...no on who has gone through what you have.

i feel accomplished in that i have achieved what i have thus far and i feel confident about the future and what it holds.

never too late to do anything...life's full of such stories.

I feel accomplished in that I've managed to write 5 books and they've gotten some attention.

That's about it, though.

I have stayed alive through, wars, motorcycle and car wrecks, airplane crashes, and forty years of working for da man. I feel very accomplished.

You are young. You have years to live up to your potential.

Life is for living.

No...and I never want to!

Even if I could accomplish every goal I set for myself, I will always set new ones. I hope that I will remain "unaccomplished" until I perish completely.

I'll never succeed in living up to my potential because that's limitless. I just hope to accomplish great things while I'm here. I've managed a lengthy list so far but an infinite number await my attention.

I think the key words in your final statement are "yet" and "my". Don't lose that attitude! I think the "any" is a bit far-fetched as I read your writing. I'd say you're quite accomplished in your own right.

Keep on keeping on kid! flowerforyou

I kinda feel like I keep myself struggling because I'm worried that once you feel accomplished, and everything in life is perfect...that you may just give up.

Hmm.

I have semi mastered a few things in life so that is accomplishment but I in no way feel done accomplishing. I am currently trying to find the next mountain to climb.

do u know what is your potential? and how do u know when u have lived up to it pray tell? Accomplishments are all made up of smaller related accomplishments necessary for whatever it is u are talking about having completed. And lest I sound like the MadHatter I 'll bid u adieu

but B4 I do, I will say that u have , Young man accomplished the fine task of making all of us on mingle2 think, create, communicate on unique and interesting threads -results of ur accomplished thinking.
