[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This unhappiness is because women have 'drank the Koolaid' instead of doing what makes them happy - regardless of your generation. If someone else is living your best life instead of you, then ask yourself why you built the life you have. [/quote]

Sorry, but this sounds like a line from an MLM playbook. This whole 21-century concept of “living your best life” just adds to unhappiness I think, and it breeds comparison and insecurity. I feel better living a “good enough under the circumstances” life.[/quote]

Completely agree with you. [/quote]

I agree as well.[/quote]

There is also power in really owning the low parts in our lives. Even if you are living your "best life" at a particular point in time, you will go through challenges. That's part of your life, too. I think the best thing I've done for myself in my 40s is learn to love myself and feel worthy even when my life does not feel (or look) very good. I know I'm worthy (of love, happiness, respect, fulfillment). That's it.  Wherever I'm at is okay, because I have value no matter what.[/quote]
