Do you? Or is that just an illusion? Or maybe it’s them using your accomplishments to benchmark their perceived failures.

Robert Johnson describes your dilemma in his book Living Your Unlived Life. It turns out that it’s everyone’s dilemma, because we all make choices during our lives, and the unchosen things accumulate in our unconscious mind. They don’t just stay there, though. Oh no! Left to their own devices they show up in all sorts of disruptive ways. Midlife crises, divorce, career implosion, and many more fun ways. So, how to deal with all of these Unchosen Gremlins. It’s about bringing them into consciousness and making peace with them. I highly recommend Johnson’s book for an in-depth take on the subject.
