How Do You Rate Your Life

How Do You Rate Your Life

I was going to use a scale from 1 to 10, but that would leave out all the little things that encompass one's life. So, I'm using 0 to 100. I could give you a definition of each number, but it's not my decision on how you think about your life. Lastly, I find it more interesting to break your life into the segments of your life. However, the only thing that counts is right now.

Sooo, I'm going to give you mine and hopefully you'll take the time to think about your own life.

Childhood (up to 19) 85%. I was a very happy child. I had many, many friends. Al my friends liked me. I was the guy everybody wanted to hang out with. Even though we didn't have much money, I didn't feel a need to have more than I had. I only had one relationship with someone older that led to intercourse (once). With the few other girls I was with I found the kissing, feeling, rubbing and coming in my pants very thrilling.

The next 15 years were a mixed bag - I'll give it a 50%. I had new friends who I had great times with. I got married and had two kids. My career was doing fabulous. However, in my early thirties everything turned to shit. Divorce, stress from being a manager and not loving myself because of my insecurities in dealing with the outside world took away from a higher rating of my life.

From 36 to 62 years old was a 70%. Another divorce was the main cause of not giving a higher number. Again, however, I married to the best wife anybody could ask for and my work was very stressful at times, but I was good at what I did and respected by the people I worked for and the people who worked for me. The most important thing that changed my life to the positive was, with help, I understood myself and became the source of positive energy. My insecurities diminished greatly and I was more bullet proof from the outside world's negative energy. 

Today - 90%. The only reason I don't give it 100% is because I always feel there will be more good stuff to come. My wife, retirement, my friends, my creativity and my feeling of self-worth has made my current life the best of my life.
