Do you like the way you life today?? Are you already contented with it?? Or you are still searching for something?? Well,honestly speaking I am confuse right now because I still don't know what I want to do in my life.. I am still asking myself what I want to gain and what I want to achieve!!! Maybe, I still really don't know myself.. I am already 20 years old and I had already finished my studies.. I also already have a job.. A good job!! But I am still not contented of what my life is right now.. I am still searching for something but I don't know what am I looking.. Did this ever happen to you?? What is my problem?? Why am I confuse?? You are all welcome to share some of your thoughts regarding this discussion.. happy posting...

you are 20, finished school and with a good job and still looking for something? let me tell you, i am 29, finished school, worked before, studying the swedish language now which i am really enjoying, in a very good relationship and will one day have a very good job here in sweden and yes, i am very happy with my life. but contented? i don't think that there is such a word in a human's life. i mean, we can be proud and happy to where we are now. but we always want to have and attain something more. i like the way how my life is today but i look forward to having a better life one day when i can do whatever i wanna do with the man i love and with the family i adore.

Well, i am really happy the way i am and one should like the way they are and start working hard to achieve the goal and to be successful in life and by doing this and having belief in yourself you can do too many things in life and one should always be optmistic and positive in life

I think I am, as I always say, it’s always about perception and disposition. I am happy with my life because I want it to be happy. I love my boyfriend, he is not here at the moment, we cant be together the whole year because he is outside the country to work, but it feels good to have somebody to love you so much without condition.My family is not rich but I am lucky because they are very supportive of me and I know for sure that they love and care for me. I am not rich, but I am working hard to earn a decent living and to save for whatever future I’ll be having. I don’t want to say I have the perfect job. It’s earning me good, but am not totally happy with it, but I try to be, and with the friendship that I have gained in the office, being happy with my work doesn’t seem so difficult at all. My life is not perfect but I am thankful with what I have. And I am more thankful with every blessing and friendship that I have gained each day!

no problem, i really enjoyed sharing my opinion and joining your discussion here. i just want to impart to others as well that no matter how hard our life is right now, we should always remember that others are in deeper and more complicated situation than we are.. some are in worse situation compared to the life that we are whining about.. so there is always something we should grateful and thankful even with the hardships that we are facing..

Right now I'm still not contented with my life.Despite the fact that I had finished my studies and currently working,i am still not happy with my life,I'm also searching for that something in which I will be able to find myself and to know where I really belong and what I really want to do with my life.I guess,that's the question you still have to find out by yourself,as you go on with your life you will be able to know why,just keep on searching and going no matter what.You're still young and there are still a lot of things to come and a lot of experiences you will encounter as you go on with your life. happy posting!

No I dont like life today, kids are getting away with Murder, and parents cant do a thing about it. Our "system" bites the big one, I am 36 years old woman living in Ontario, and Im canadian and proud to be but common, as to kissie34 i believe its a life phase i really do, think about it, every 10 years something in our life changes, my 20's sucked, my 30's so far, suck, life sucks but we have to play the cards handed down to us...good luck in everything you do.

right now, i feel like I cannot catch up - I have so many small things to do that it's hard to tell which to do first and how to get things done. But other than that, I'd say my life is pretty good.

I like your principle in life.. Yes, you must strive hard in order for you to be a successful man someday.. In is good to that you are eating or spending with your own money without asking from our parents or relatives because it can only show that you are already responsible to handle your own life.. Thanks for sharing..

In that case,maybe you are doing something you are not interested or you still not yet find your interest. I think most of the time,only people without any interest would feel that they are still searching something in life but they are not sure about it. For me,it's simple. I am so far feel contented and satisfied with my life. Maybe what I want is just to get myself to learn more things from my job. I want to quickly accumulate my money and get some assets. That's it.

Well, I think so.. Actually, I don't know if I am interested with my job.. Most of the time I felt bored about my job.. I don't feel that I am in my right path.. I'm thinking to find job after I ended up my contract.. But I don't know what kind of job do I want.. Many people say that I must thankful with my job because most of the time I don't have work, I won't feel tired.. Well, for me I felt very tired everyday because of too much boring inside the office.. i don't have friends that is same with my age because most of them are 5 or more older from me.. I think your right.. I still don't know what makes me interest..

i think that most the people on earth is not fully satisfied with life n wanted more n more. even i come under this category, i feel that there r few more things which i need to achieve, i dont deny that god has blessed me with most of the things which i had ever dreamt of but as the time passes i feel the needs of a human increases n also there r a few things which is still to be achieved. so i want to achieve all the thoughts which i had thought of, but i dont know when its going to happen.

I agree with you that people don't satisfy of the things they have.. Always wants more.. Well, I think people wanting more will never change because of course we always have our goals in life.. Even our goals already reach still we keep on dreaming more and that will be the next challenge in our life.. It is not good to be contented of what you have because I think your life will be boring.. Well, as for me I am dreaming of something but I don't know how to reach it and how to fulfill my goals in life.. I don't even know how to start doing it.. The sad thing is I don't know what I want to accomplish in my life.. I am still realizing on the things that I want to do in my life.. Sometimes, I am laughing at my self because I just don't understand what I really want... Anyway, thanks for sharing..

I understand what you mean,even me i dont know what i really wanted to be.I guess this natural for people in the world.I think you cant realized what do you want to be untill you already experience something for example for job.People is like that they never felt contented with there life because they felt that something is missing.I have good life here in Sweden a good husband and i am doing school now.But i still want something that i cant said it or do it.I think the time will gone that we find what we wanted in our life .

I really hope so.. Well, I have already a job.. I am already working for 3 months.. Still I can't say that I am happy with my job... I know that there's still missing and I just can't figure out what is that missing piece.. I guess I just need more time to know myself first before knowing what that missing piece that I am looking for.. That's great at least you are somehow contented of your life.. Stay happy always..

Well, that's a pretty good suggestion... I really love too.. But for now, I just can't do that.. I don't have money to go abroad even go to other city... Maybe, going abroad will be just one of my dreams and I don't know if I can reach that dream.. Anyway, thanks for that suggestion.. Happy posting...

[b]Kissie, you need to discover yourself, you must know what you want from life especially this time that you're still young. I know what I want from life and I decided to pursue it in time, now I am arriving gradually, you too can do same. Just sit down, think and make conclusions. It is normal, it happens to everybody, i made the decision when I was sixteen and it has worked for me.[/b]

Hi There Kissie, We'll i do like the my life is right now but i still try my best to achieve those things that needs to be done so far. I am 29 years old, happily married and mom-to-be. :) I treat each day as new opportunity to experience the essence of LIFE. There are of course problems since these are inevitable to life but each problems has solutions to it. Financials that's what i'm working on right now but so long as i am healthy and my loved ones are too, i don't worry a lot. There are various ways to be happy. All we need is to open up our minds to the beautiful things that life has to offer. :) Happy Myloting to you!!!

I'm very šleased with my life today. I'm married, I play professional handball for my country (although I'm not in Beijing and play against Spain and Brazil right now because my wife is in hospital so i refused to go) and I'm healthy. So, yes I'm rather pleased with my life so far.

[i]Honestly speaking I don't like my life nowadays. I'm saying this because in behalf of my effort I'm still in this or shall we say nothing happens T_T. I know God has plan into my life and I'm still hoping that someday I can say to all that here I am now Very successful. [/i]

Do I like the way my life is today? Not yet, since I am not able to move the way I want to. I am still limited due to school and "poverty". I am still not able to do the things I really want to accomplish. And speaking of accomplish, I pretty much know what my goals are and how I'd go about them when the time comes. Am I contented with my life right now? Not yet. Just like what I said, I'm too limited to do the things that I want. Am I still searching for something? Not really searching, but waiting. I'm waiting for that final guy that would truly sweep me off my feet. And I'm not searching because I know he'll come, eventually. So you are 20, with a very nice job but still you are not contented. Maybe you need some quite time alone and list down the things you really want for yourself. Don't think about others, just yourself and write down everything that you can. Then go about them and check the ones that would also benefit the people around you. Lastly, crash out the ones that you think are beyond your capabilities. And then, look at your list. Focus yourself on the ones that aren't crashed out and has a check. Honestly, that was what I did last summer and it worked out well. Now I'm really confident about the things that I want and would like to accomplish. How about you try those things too? It might also work out for you.. :)
