NO,
I dont know what I want
I dont know what would make me happy.
I think Ive looked deep within...but probably havent.

My self-image is at an all time low at 44 years old!

Its never been good...but its gotten worse and worse over the last 10 - 15 years.

If I knew what would make me happier that would be great. At least I would know then I could go after that.

I play in lots of groups. Ive done about 6 CDs. Some great concerts....and Ive enjoyed those.

Im not a failure, Ive had some success.....dont get me wrong but it all seems to fall short for some reason

Im also an obsessive perfectionist....makes me miserable.

Yes, you can go and get a doctorate in education, but that would probably put you in an administrative position? Would that make you happier?

Could you continue teaching if you had a more creative outlet for your music? Playing in group, ect?

You're taking suggestions people are making and rejecting them, and don't get offended by my saying this, but do you really KNOW what you want that would make you happier?

You have to look within yourself and find what you really want, while coming here might or might not be helpful, you have to ultimately decide what you want and make some decisions.

Only you can make steps towards taking changes to find your happiness, and it's not easy, and it takes a lot of work to put into yourself to effect changes.
