You are entirely correct, most of us only look like we know what we are doing, let along wanting to do it. You may enjoy workcoach.wordpress.com; not my site, although I do admire the author's posts.

Went to Target just today and filled my red cart with all sorts of things with stuff I didn't know I needed! Well at least 93% of the cart was full of those sorts of things. Didn't even end up buying what we had gone there for! Thank you for the definition of "Target moment." I went there so that my son would have those cute little shoes on his feet that cost a fortune (but Target has a knock - off type). He is usually the only kid in the nursery with bare feet as he doesn't have these MUST-HAVES - he doesn't seem to care one way or the other though! Hah!

Love your post. Lord knows we've all been there - pretty much daily for me. And thanks for the visit to my own blog. You gave me the opposite of a Target Moment - you offered me assurance that, not only are we all lost, but we also all have something of value to share that may actually connect if we just keep putting it out there. Big thanks! By the way...I just recently told someone that job hunting is like sales - each "no" brings us closer to a "YES". We just have to believe in the product - and also be willing to repackage it a bit to fit the market. I've had lots of jobs that wouldn't have even entered my mind until the idea found me. And believe me...I had a Target moment with each one. Good luck with the employment suggestion! Please let me know how it works out. Amen to your cousin’s theorem and then some! Love your post.

I experience this all the time. I see 'perfect' people with 'perfect' lives and wonder why can't I have that ignorance and that comfort in life? Instead, for those of us that observe, we see the complexities and the sub-currents that flow largely unseen by the majority. We wonder how we all stay on the surface of the earth as the rotational surface speed exceeds 1,000 mph. We feel guilty and think twice before we toss a bottle of milk because it expired yesterday --- knowing a child thousands of miles away (and even next door) would consider it a gift from God. Things are not as rosey as they seem. Things are far more serious and far more wonderful. The sad thing is that your observation is right on. I experience this all the time.
