pay the proper amount of attention to any of them to gain the right amount of new knowledge that you need in order to excel and succed and make something with it?
I dont know, i feel like I like so many things, and want to look further into so many things like.. music, art, photography, cars, health, writing, businesses and money making...
The more I learn about some of these things, the easier I find it is to get educated about them, the better I think I'd be at them.. It's just like.. I feel like if I really want to do something to my full potential I need to invest a lot of time into it. But what about all the other things I want to learn about?
Sometimes I just want all the knowledge in the world lol.Anyways..
I feel like I could be so good at anything.. I just dont know how to choose, mainly because I want to do so many different things.
I was just wondering if anyone else felt like that

I have this problem all the time. I like way too many things. It is especially hard when you are thinking of a business, because you can start a business out of almost any hobby, and then you are stuck between choosing one over another...
i think part it comes from being thirsty to learn, but then you always wonder in the back of your head what is it, that one thing, that is for me? should we be limited to one thing? it would be easier...it is just so hard to decide when you are interested in a little of everything...
if you've figured out a way to decide on one thing, you'll have to let me know!

That is exactly how I have felt for a very long time.
I love to do so many things. I love to make my own clothes. I love to make dolls. I love to take photographs or draw & paint, especially to illustrate a story. I love to do yoga. I love to dance. I love hiking and camping and kayaking and learning how to survive in the wilderness. I would love to play musical instruments, especially the fiddle, and perform with a band. I love to sing and I would love to speak foreign languages. I want to be a hacker and a day trader. I would love to be a gymnast and a synchronized swimmer. I want to be a trapeze artist and a tightrope walker in a traveling circus.
I'm in the middle of working out my priorities myself so I don't have any advice for you. Except this... pick out what gives you the best feeling when you think about it and take it from there. And I can also wish you a ton of fun on your journey!

I have felt the same way in the past. What I did was sit down and make a list of my three favorite things....and just focused on them until I felt I could move on to something else. Then just keep three interests until I feel like I have learned enough or felt no more need to persue them.

I don't feel like I have too many interests. I like a lot of things, they are a part of my identity and life. Its better to have them and develop them at the pace one wants to. Plenty of interests I am "good" at if we are to use a general term. And others I have an interest in just because of curiosity and intrigue.
