not having a goal in life

[hardstylin]

I woke up today and it just kinda hit me that im totally floating threw life, i have no major goal in mind no dream of becoming anything, theres nothing i really want to go to school for, theres no job that i really want to have. Does this mean im one of those people who should go out and travel and try and find himself, even though i dont really like traveling. Im starting to wigg out a bit im seriously livin day to day here the only thing i have to wake up for in the morning is work, the gym and hockey :) whick is cool cause they all kick ass. The worst part of it all is i have a ton of cash saved up, i got awsome grades in high school so paying for and getting into a college or something would not be a problem i just dont have a strong enough interest to commit to it :(

anybody else in this boat if so what are u plannin on doin??

[klockwize]

buddy............i feel your pain

im in the exact same boat....all the $$ to take almost anything in school but no interests.....couple potentials, but nothing worth spending all the time and $$ into to realize im not goin to benefit from it anyway!!

im plannin on movin up to kelowna for 6 months with my girlfriend after jan for 6 months to "find myself", who knows if ill benefit from it, but it will give me good life experience

hope you find sumthin :c-tard:

Its hard to be able to handle school when you have no drive to be there , thats what happens with me , i think theres to much pressure on young people to find out exactly what there gona be , everyone just needs to chill and it ill come.

Post-secondary is designed to further your education in a certain field of interest you wish to pursue; if you don't have that initial interest, I can't recommend it as it would only turn out to be a glorified high school for you instead.

To be perfectly honest, there is no one true answer to your dilemma. I was in a similar boat two years ago. I found direction eventually but lost everything I had in the process. It was more or less a complete turnaround, a mental re-birth so to speak (heh... forgive the New Age jargon). Nowadays, I'm in the best spirits I've ever known, best financial situation I've ever known, 100% satisfied with my work, am dedicated towards my current goals, even if I know I won't see them in fruitation for a few years.

If I may quote Tyler Durden, "It's only after we've lost everything that we are free to do anything." Little did I realize how true it was.

dude your only 20. its normal to not know what you wanan do in life...my suggestiong to you my man is to go out and try a whole bunch of different things and see if theres anyhting that you like to do..like go to school take a bunch of courses just for fun see which ones you like, or go traveling. but since you live in fort nelson, id suggest that you just go travel somewhere, see some sites, maybe youll be inspired abroad.


fortunately i know exactly what i want in life..and im gonna get it godammit

i have a goal, an taht is to always paint always draw always expres myself.. as for where i'll end up, i donno yet. life is too long to know where i will be in two years. the only reason i know where i will be next year is because i am in a program at school.

knowing where you will be in 5 years takes all the fun outta life. i hvae alot of things i know i will do... but i dont know when yet. things like traveling, geting a bfa, maybe even a masters... or maybe ill end up teaching somewhere.

just know your passion.
