+1  agree... I think too many people have too high expectations about life.  Most of us won't achieve any greatness, and that's ok.  Your life has meaning if you are a friend/parent/spouse/child to someone, which most of us are.

I heard a story about a guy who was not wealthy, was single, very ordinary, lived a very ordinary life, but he was a kind person who had many friends because of his kindness, and when he died, hundreds of people showed up to his funeral.  He touched so  many lives by just being kind to people.

I'm turning 50 this fall. I've had a decent career, but it could've been better.  We are financially secure. I have two teens and a DH who still loves and desires me.  I don't have many friends, but this life I've carved out for myself is better than what most people have. I came from an immigrant, low income family, and believe me, most Americans have great lives compared to probably more than half the world population.

If you are looking for meaning, I think volunteering is a great way to find it. [/quote]
