Have you fulfilled your potential have you maximised your strengths or failed at reaching you childhood dreams

As a child i wanted to be a soldier or a rugby league international player more than anything i failed at both but have had some success if not my dream job a good one i do enjoy and found a new dream be a good dad and find the girl of my dreams so not a bad place to be

So my question to you is have you reached for the stars and captured them

If not did you still find a piece of happiness to chase as a backup?

"Yep im 40 to thought id start with a grown up question "

I actually thought this after seeing post about your birthday *Happy CakeDay* by the way!

I wanted to be a make up artist...got offered a place at London College of Fashion...which I ended up turning down for a relationship with my first boyfriend...

... totally gutted I didn't follow my dream and often think where I could have been now...

Like married to ant macpartlan (he married his make up artist!)

Or getting close and personal to Ryan Reynolds or Tom Hardy

However, yes I love my life now, a ready good job and very different each day love my kids, satisfied that I raise them single handedly and enstill good morals, strong work ethic etc and work 38hr week too.

(Yes, I am a strong feminist and proud!)

Glad you are happy in your goals too x

As a child I wanted to be a teacher, be married and have children.

I was a teacher, was married, never had kids (thank goodness!)

Took me 13 years to realise teaching was making me really miserable. 18 years to realise my husband was doing the same. Again, thank goodness I didn't have kids!

I'm now 45. I have a great career. I have great Fab sex. And I'm only responsible for me.

Childhood dreams are only as big as the child's scope of experience. Achieving adult dreams is far more satisfying.

Thank you. I didn't manage to marry Matt Goss from Bros, but after the recent documentary I think I dodged a bullet there!

My life is a failure so I'd say that I succeed in failure

I've achieved a lot and am not finished - but I seek the qualitative aspects of life. Potentially other great love relationships will be made but I'm happy being single.

I'm happy where I am in life, doing the job I wanted since I was a young child.

Seen the world with more to come, couldn't be happier.

I'm 42 in 2 months and honestly have no idea what I want to do work wise.

I enjoy parts of my job and despise other parts. I would say I'm good at what I do but I don't consider myself successful. Is there such a thing as a successful waitress?! I fulfil my job role and make people smile so I guess there is, but it's never gonna be the job that allows me to have holidays or luxuries. It does keep a roof over my head.

I've raised a well rounded caring human. I suppose that could be seen as a success, again tho I don't feel like the parent I want to be. I want to do more, give more. I want to be able to look back with fond memories, instead I look back with guilt and feel I've been lucky with him. He witnessed and lived through things no child should so that says more about him and his strength than it does my own.

I have no future that I can picture and say "yes, give me 5 years and I'll be there"

Nothing to plan for, look forward to or believe in... not really.

I do have hope tho, and that's all I can cling to
