Are you happy with the direction of your life and where you are heading in say 5 to 10 years, or do you feel you need to change course? Personally, I couldn't be happier with the direction of things.

I don't have a direction in my life. I'm undecided whether or not I'm happy about it.

Seeing as my direction is whichever way I happen to face, it's perfectly fine by me :)

i don't really have a plan, and don't have a clue where i'll be in 5 years. But school is going rather good, i'm probably going to rent a room or a house next year, i've recently got a girlfriend. i don't see how i could improve my life (while staying reasonable)

Yeah--I'd like to be farther along in my career, but I'm pleased with where I am and where I seem to be headed for the moment.

I see myself merely treading water for the rest of my life which is just fine. As long as I can still breath. :)

I don't have a direction in my life. I'm undecided whether or not I'm happy about it.

Direction is over-rated. If you spend your entire life going in one direction you'll walk around in circles :D (also, zomg, sup.)


to the OP - the general impression I get from my life is that despite anything that happens, I couldn't be happier with it. I have my angel and she's all I need, bar the whole food, air, water deal.

At the moment i'm questioning a lot of things about the way I live my life. Do I want to get out of medicine? Do I really think i'm ready to propose to my girlfriend? Should I move out of my flat right now and move in with different friends? Should I move even further after I graduate and return to where I grew up?

All in all though I tend to be very laid back in my approach to these questions i.e. Unless something major happens to give me one very obvious choice i'll stick the way i am

Direction and planning is for chumps.

No. Really unhappy with it.

If my life is like a sinus curve, then I'm approaching the bottom of it but it will go up in a couple of years. And then down again, and up, and...

But as it is right now and has been for a long time, my life has gone in the absolute wrong direction and I'm totally pessimistic about the future.

My life doesn't really have a direction, I'm just sort of following where it leads at the moments. I'm starting to become dissatisfied with that.

not sure... i think so, but it depends if that direction turns into a path or just doesn't materialise

The direction is fine. The specifics of the destination might throw me a bit.

International bonds or currency trading sounds like a good idea. But then, I really like the idea of working for a hedge fund on corporate acquisitions as well. Raid the lazy bastards, break them up and sell the pieces. ;)

When is the next bus out of this place?

I'm happy where my life is going. Ofcourse the fact that i was born into a wealthy family has made my life a lot easier.

I am proud and happy of what i acheived for myself. Right now i'm a prosecutor. Hopefully in 5-10 years i will be in congress.

It's to the Southeast... and Feng Shui says the southeast is a very lucky direction.. so, yes.

Well, not really. I don't know what to do with my life.

when it has a direction i'll tell you.

i have no idea really. I don't have a crystal ball.

After a confusing couple of years, it's starting to fall into place a bit more now. There's still a hell of a lot to do to keep it on track, but it's nice to at least have a target.

*checks compass*

NSW, not bad.
