It's easy for us to second guess our location and purpose in life. I do it all the time. Sometimes I feel either too focused on the past or future and not as attentive on the present. Well, God has the future in his hands and the focusing on the past only takes my time i have to enjoy the present. I have to remember that God has us exactly where He wants us to be at any given moment. He knows what it takes for us to follow him, and our experiences, even the negative ones can all be turned into positive results. Even if we don't necessarily see it.
