Confused what you really want to do with your life?

Sometimes, I feel like I want to do something else aside from the college course I've finished. I've seen my colleagues work and they told me that they're not really happy with what they're doing. I stopped and thought, what do I really want to do with my life? They say that you should be contented in what you do in order to be happy with it. But it seems hard to really feel contented.

I'm sort of going through that myself... naturally, I waited until I was in my last year of college to start worrying. Ah well, not much can be done about it, except that you think, and do whatever you can to find out what you really want to do. For example... I was originally planning to "just" be a librarian, but these days I'm half-tempted to go for a travel-related job instead. *Shrugs* I wish you the best of luck in finding out what you really want to do... and I hope it makes you content.

Thanks! I really want to do many things but only half-heartedly. It's like once I've tried it, then the cravings to do that stuff suddenly stops. I also wish that I can find what I want. I'm not getting any younger and that worries me. _

Again, I can totally relate... For example, languages. I like languages, and I like learning them... but once I hit a hard spot or have been going at it for a couple of years, I lose interest. It's annoying as all get-out, because I'd like to have at least ONE language other than my native one mastered.

Nothing is too late in this world. If there's still time, we can always do what we want. ^_^ Thanks for sharing!

..Well, for me, no.. We do have many aspirations and things we dream of in life.. For me, I already know what I want and there are so many.. my problem now is how to get those things.. I am confused on what road to take that will lead me to my dreams.. I don't know what decisions to make to hasten my journey towards those dreams.. Maybe I just need to teach myself to take one thing at a time not all at the same time.. It would be nice to take actions slowly but surely.. At least, I may not reach my dreams too fast, but eventually, I will be achieving them in the future if I am patient enough to wait for the right time.

Wow! That's great! I agree that you should take things slowly and one at a time. __

Hi, NaomiErin, sometimes i have the same confusion although i have joined my job for nearly 2 years. Actually in certain degree i am contented in the job i am doing, but i would think what i really want to do in my life, i always think that there may be something more suitable for me to do and i may be better at it instead of the job i am doing now although i can handle the job i am doing well. The guys who can find what they want really want to do in a early time of their life cycle seems so lucky.hope that anyone have some experience on this fired can give us some help.

How true! They really are lucky people. They get to enjoy their life while they're still young. I also have that kind of dilemma. I know that what I'm doing right now is not the best I can give. I just don't know where I can give my best. _
