Have you ever felt like this?

Have you ever felt like you wanted to something, but you didn't know what it is? I have been feeling unproductive lately. I feel like I have the ability to do whatever it is, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It feels like I'm stalling to not do whatever it is. And it's like I can't seem to want to know what it is and it's bothering me! Does that sound weird? Have you ever felt like that?

That doesn't sound weird at all! I can totally relate. I've been experience the same thoughts..I just can't seem to narrow my focus, its like I've have my hands in so many pots that nothing is getting done. So now I'm having a difficult time trying to figure exactly what it is that I'm supposed to be doing. I've taken a few personality tests to help me determine the best 'fit' for me...the specifics is what I'm having a difficult time with now...lol, I could ramble on about this forever! Good to know I'm not alone - I wish you luck

Oh my gosh, you too have taken the personality test? I'm glad I'm not the only one. Sadly, it still hasn't helped, because now all it makes me think about is "Would this personality do this or would she do it another way?" Sometimes I'm jealous of the people who know what they want to do and I get inspired by their determination to accomplish it.

I understand, it's difficult at times. I think we all experience this feeling in one form or another. What I've discovered so far about myself is that I kind of know what it is but something is holding me back. Almost like I'm afraid to take the risk and step out of the comfort zone. Unfortunately, it took a horrible experience for me to just grab the bull by horns and run. Necessity is the mother of invention, they say. I guess, I should be thankful, for having to deal with such an unfortunate experience because it made me, literally forced me to seek other avenues just to maintain. Now I'm finally passionate about something and look forward to the challenges. Life is funny like that sometimes.

Okay, I think that's what I will do. I'm going to work on something that I can actually be productive in. Maybe photography or something or acting or maybe wrting Well, I'll just have to figure it out, huh? Thank for the comment and advice I appreciate it.

Yes I am also feeling the same and I can't find the solution, which is frustrating. So I spend times to try new things and see whether I feel content with it. So far it hasn't been a success but I am still trying. Maybe you should do the same? Just join any club or start venture small business.

Yeah, I've been trying new things and so far, I'm still trying to figure out what fits me best. I will work harder at that. And yes, joining a club or two might also help a good bit. Now, about that venturing a small business, that is something I might also think about.
