A lot of that is ACOA issues. It's a learning process.
It's not that I can't reach my goals, but it's that when I do I have a way of feeling it's not enough. So, if I got to Mars, I'd have a reason to think that I didn't do something right. I didn't get there soon enough, or something, lol.

You do have a right to be happy----and it IS enough.
Perhaps if you pissed away 2 yrs of your life to get to that crappy little
low rent airless desert----you'd appreciate Earth more?

bluebelle,
I struggle with ACOA issues too.
I listen to tapes and read about this very thing.
What I have learned is, happiness and contentment are our "natural" states as human beings and it is us who hang on to the misery.
(not good enough, not fast enough, just never enough)
I am oversimplifying a big concept, I wish I had the words.
I want to say I hear you and I understand you bluebelle.
