Have you ever been confused about what you are gonna do with your life?

I feel confused just like you when I'm young. There are even times that I feel afraid of what will the future will bring to me. With so many jobless people as of now it's hard to find job but then there's nothing I can do. I must learn to stand on my own feet because nobody would help me only myself. I suggest that get out from your parents shadow and make something out of yourself. Parents will not be always there for us. They can help us for the time being but the time will come that they too will pass away. The best thing to do is explore your capabilities and your wants in life and pursue it.

first of all find out ur field of interest if u work in your field of interest you will never get bored and will be satisfied .....and be sure to take guidance from ur parents and other expeienced people around you

You just need to be thankful that you still have your parents to guide you. They are not there to force you to things you don't like to do. Even if they have opened to you what you may want to do, doesn't mean you can't decide for your own.

Almost always. I`m a nurse in profession but I`m currently working as a callcenter right now because nurses pay less here in our place. I find it hard to pursue being a nurse. I`m uncertain with my future plans.

Yup. After graduating from grade school i didn't know where i'd go to. It wasn't clear to me what course i'm taking and what is it exactly that i wanted to do. I just took 3 random entrance exams and i passed in one and i enrolled there. I've never regretted that decision so far though.

i had been in your shoes and i was so confused that i just plunge ahead and almost ruined my life. thankfully, i "woke up" in time to straighten things up and made this far, where i am today.. my advice for you, is to make your own decision. If you are confused at the moment, it would be better if you will go away on you own for the moment, and clarify the issues at hand..you need to weigh the pros and cons of the matter, consider also the advice of your parents..and with heavenly intercession, you will come up with the decision on waht to do with your life. it is best to take charge of your life and not let anyone decide it for you, even your parents..they might not like the idea at first, but sooner or later, they would come to realize that you have grown up and you need to do things on y our own, if they want you to succeed as an individual in this vast world of ours..goodluck.

my feeling is that almost 90% of people are passing through this phase. however, the final answer to this should be that make your goals after studying lot of prevailing opportunities and situations. also look at some of good network marketing companies and do it as side biz. and attend their meetings to get motivated and also attend some trainings by professional motivators in your locations. all these should help you in making smart goals

Hi there Baby Anna! I have never been in that place since I got married before I graduate from college and right after high school, I had plans. I would suggest that you move out and try things out on your own. I believe that you have to do that so that you won't regret being scared of taking risks later in your life. Good luck!

I have a stable job ,but I dont like it really.I want to work for myself,too.But I dont have any fund or courage to start.I think you can take your parents advice first.Do a job and then seek for a good chance to start.I never stop looking for a great chance to make a fortune.Good luck.

Hey, tell me about it. I am confusing with the right direction too. I don't know whether I doing things right or not. Maybe I would like to go with the flow, should I find a reliable job and work for the same company for 20 some years without any dream or motivation? Or should I go out there my own, and start my own business and pursuing my dream while I am young? I really want to do something with my life too, but it seems I am still indecisive. But you know what, if you don't try it, you never know the how the ending gonna be. So, go for it whatever you want to do. If you fail, learn a lesson for your lifetime, and pick yourself again.

how old are you? are you a fresh college grad? i think at this stage it is normal for someone to be uncertain about what to do in life. your parents are there to guide you, not to plan your life for you. they can give suggestions, but you are an adult now and you will have to make your own decisions. just remember that you are responsible for the choices that you will make so be ready to accept the consequences. you are still young, there's a lot more to learn. explore new possibilities. your goals will appear clearer as you gain more experience. good luck.

I can actually relate with you, I also don't know what I would do in my life. I'm already 22 years old and still I'm not sure if I choose the right vocation. I took up nursing but it wasn't my interest I am actually planning to take up computer engineering but i still need to save up. College ain't cheap so for now I'm also in a place where I plan stuff yet I have no idea if I would actually fulfill it. I hope for the best for the two of us I know God will guide us with our real purpose in life.

I want to find a steady work in a uniniversity or a research institute, working, maybe will become a scientist, maybe will retire with no valuable finding ... But i think one shoule ask himself what he want to do in his life, don't follow others.

Hm, i feel the same... in my case my parent always planned my life, but one day i said i want to make my own path of life, at first they didn't agree, but i convince them that i can. I only do it because i want my life to be meaningful for others, i want to do social based job. At first when they entrusted all the choices to me, it was rather frustrating, because you must make your own decision and took the risk yourself. But i always remember one phrase that; God will not give His follower something that he/she can't do it. So that's the motivation, that made me go on... ^^ When there is a will there is a way ^^b

I think we all come to this crossroads in kife, babyanna. We get confused with what we will do in life. Indecision and uncertainty are common stumbling blocks of life. If we were never confused, we would never have to struggle with any issue or situation. We are only human. We are not perfect.

my motivation now is my 6 month old baby and my husband. they are the reason why i work so hard so that i can buy whatever they need and want.i want to give the best for them. i dont care if i work 12 hours in the hospital taking care of the sick patients just to be able to save for my family. before having our first baby, me and my husband dont care if we have savings or not. we just waste our money in watching movies, shopping and buying latest gadgets. he goes out with his friends almost every night and i with my friends. sometimes we run out of cash beacuse we spend it all in some unneccesary things.it seemed that we have no plans in life that time. many people told us that we just married each other just to have fun and have no plans in running a family. things have changed when i got pregnant and when i first held my baby in my arms, i immediately started planning for my future with my baby and my huband. now i do everything just to have money. i do mylotting, direct selling and i work as a nurse at the same time.when i have enough savings, i will used it as a capital for a mini grocery with a canteen and a small boutique beside it. it does't matter what you in life as long as you do what you love. make the best out of what you have right now so that your parents will be proud of you. let your self and your future be your motivation. have a happy day! smile always! ;)

I'm also in that phase, rather anoying. I know what i want to do but it's just not possible. What i realy want to do is beeing a game tester and everything that belongs to it. But be honest, this ain't a job, it's more like a hobby. I have to make a choise very soon, either i go working with my dads bussines or i'm going to the army.

a man, who dont know how to find out where he does find his motivation, is a very happy person. i'm bewildered by your confusion, a man accustomed to struggling for my survival against the elemnts and society. if there would be a kind of motivation in my life, survival would be the first, lucky man!

I have never been confused as well just now. I am fast approaching my 30 years, married with a daughter but I am still confused on what I am going to do with life. And I felt that this is very dangerous because I have a daughter whe's relying on me right now. If I don't have any directions, my daughter's life wouldn't have any directions too. I have a fine job but it is never enough. I'm trying to discipline myself to go through and finish this stage in my life. Right now, I just want to earn more,feed my family, send my daughter to school and work harder as much as I can.

Are you kidding me?? I've been through this phase again and again and even now I'm still going through it, it's call life.. heh, I know it sounds cruel to say it like that but that's the truth. This shows how interesting life actually is. When I was younger I was told that I would soon face the crossroads of life. At first I thought it was just something like choosing where to further study and boy was I innocent enough to believe in myself. Because that choosing process is just like the title of a thick book and there is still the introduction, menu, content to go through.. So even right now I'm still coping with it. At first I was like you trying to set things in order by having particular definitions for everything, but the longer I go through it the longer I learn that is not required, all you need is just a rough plan and a determined effort, then things will just unfold and develop. And what your parents mentioned does not only sounds true but they are some proven results. So it all boils down to this: What is the truth to you? Is it something that have been proven? Or something that you are capable of achieving?
