Hey there Jenny. :). Have you ever asked yourself what are the things that would make your heart beat so fast? What gets you excited? What makes you feel worth doing? Teaching is what I do for a living, but it is more of fun and excitement to me than just a job, it's more of a challenge than plain boring work. It's not just my bread and butter, but it is my source of inspiration. I get so excited when I get to make my students think and ponder over things that I tell them, interesting facts that would pick on their thinking. It is always comforting to hear the words, "Thank you for teaching me" at the end of every semester. It makes me live life, it keeps me from merely existing, it makes me live and have a life.
For the record, the outdoors is also THE thing. I just love being alive. :)
I hope hope you'll find something worthwhile very soon.

Sometimes I do think the similar thing,and I get to know many people are often asking himself 'what is the life for' from the internet,some of them are older or younger me,I am 30 years old this year!
Life is so short,I think we should left something for our posterity,not only struggling for money in the city, if it is possible,we can go to some poor village,and work as teaher,or do other thing for the resident that still living in bad condition

Thanks for your posting.Life is short for everyone.You never know what may happen so it is important to cherish today.
Anyway, all roads leads to Rome.Maybe we need not to go to some poor village worked as a teacher,or do other thing for the resident who still living in bad condition.Enjoy ourselves,and do our best in our job.The spirit is wealth.
Good luck.

In accordance with the God's sayings will make us enjoying life. That's my opinion. God is the place where we hang on any single thing in life, including our own life. What do you think?

Thanks for your reply.My friend.
I think God will bless all.
Life is a dream,desire is the ingredient that changes the hot water of mediocrity to the stream of outstanding success.
Best regards.

life is there to be lived for, enjoyed and to be shared to other people
as the saying goes "the value of life doesnt count on how happy you have become because of others..but how other people have become happy and found the meaning of life because of you"

well if you think life is all about survival you will have a problem you will be obsessed and by that you will be stressed.to overcome this try looking life from a different direction start to look at life as a game it will release a some tension and find what you are passionate about e.g playing music,writing .that way definitely you will enjoy LIFE.
