do you just take things as they come and not really try too hard with anything?
do you have a checklist? school, check. career, check. family, check.
or is it in no particular order and you work to maintain everything at once?
i think i'm the latter or a combination of the second two. im still working on school and i do things like temporary jobs and internships which will provide the basis of my career. i haven't made much headway in the family dept. but i can say that i have enough failed relationships to know what i DONT want. i just dont know where i am or how much progress i've made. there are days when i think i've accomplished a whole lot and then others where i feel like i have just so damn far to go.
are you where you want to be? what's "missing"?

I too have moments when I say to myself, I am not where I thought I would be at this point. However when I really examine things I have accomplished so much but I am always one to push myself so that is probably why I doubt my progress sometimes. I guess I have one or two things on my list that I have not fully accomplished yet but I still have time I guess.
Take things in stride you are still young and you too have plenty of time to check more things off of your list.

I am where I want to be. I do the check lists and tend to get a little stressed when things aren't going to plan, but I use that stress as a motivator to reach the goals. I honestly don't think anything is "missing" right now. There are things that I need that I am working toward, but I don't count that as missing because I can see it in the very near future.
Whenever you think you have too far to go, remember you have at least 70 more years of life to accomplish it!
I don't know what it is, but you're the second person this week to have a "take a look at where you are in life" topic on their blog.
I do think I'm where I'm supposed to be. At a quarter of a century, I think I've accomplished a lot and I'm about as wise as I should be right now and as naive as I should be right now.
I could complain about a bunch of things, but I refuse to. I'm content and blessed and moving in a very guided direction, so I don't know what chapter I'm on, but I know I'm a page-turning book worth reading over and over again.
P.S., love all the reflections you've been having lately!
Great post! I feel like I'm missing family from my life. I thought that I'd have at least one child by now. I'm 28 and feel like I should be working on that now, but financially or mentally I don't think I'm ready.

LOVES IT!
@bgg- i dont think there is ever an "ideal" time to have kids. i think couples (or individuals) just make it work as best they can.
