50 Days until 50: Day 36

In search of contentment

As we get older it is said that we are supposed to reach a point in our lives where we have hit our stride. That sweet spot of knowing who we are, what we want and having the things we desire.

I don’t feel like I’m anywhere near that point in my life. Granted I got a late start on my pursuit of happiness due to being sidetracked by a 20 year struggle with alcoholism. Still at this stage of my life I should be closer to a place of homeostasis.

Not that I don’t want to keep striving and achieving but when will I get to the point in my life where I feel balanced and grounded.

I guess I’ll be content when I’m no longer living my life paying for past mistakes and able to live a more authentic existence. Whatever that means.

About lmeceo

My name is Lisa M Evans MA, CDP.  I am an author, blogger, introvert and vegan.  I earned a Masters degree in Psychology from Cleveland State University and a certification in Diversity Management. I created this blog to come out of my shell and share my perspective on a variety of topics. I want to use this blog as a sounding board, gathering place and learning opportunity. I plan on sharing a little bit of everything that interests me, natural hair, being vegan, and anything else that moves me. I have three titles that are available on Amazon,  I Know How to Lose Weight, So Why Haven't I,  a self-help book that was written as a way to work through my issues with weight and dig deeper than just diet and exercise, This is my brain on emotion, a collection of poems that I have written over the years to express my innermost thoughts and feelings, Rich Man's Song, a children's book that teaches a valuable lesson about love and money.
