Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
That you can only find in yourself. You have to find your passion everyones is diffrent, One you find it you see a future with somany possablitys.
my children were my passion and now they are grown … how do I find my passion again? I feel trapped in this complacent boring life ….
aaaaahhhhhh fook, Diet. You are perfectly normal by being feeling confused/complacent, just ride this blahhhh wave until the next yay I’m alive one comes crashing in!
When I feel like you, I read (the secret) write in a journal. Laugh on help dot com. I am soooo busy in real life that I have played hooky from work for 2 days and done nothing at home….
so remember the alternative, remember what it was like to have to be in 7 places at one time, and relish your slow time….. ooooh read the gift from the sea, if you already have read it again. It’s perfect for how you are feeling. Join a service organization, they all need help and people with time.
What have you seen in your life that makes you just so happy ? that you wish you can do it. Dance, Nature, Skill, Music, Health, people, Life… the list never ends but one of thoughs TRULLY MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE !
screaming … yep … playing hooky from work right now … and am on the laptop they provided for me! You’re right … ride the blahh …. wave.
There are two things in my life that I want to accomplish …
1. be as fit as I can possibly be …
2. fall in love again (like the real thing)
I can’t really do anything about the second … ‘now that’s a good attitude’. The first … well, for some **** reason I am avoiding that goal. (probably because it would help me with the second!)
Dan, I need to do that .. write down the things that make me feel alive.
Scream, The secret … yep, just I need to watch that video again. Ride this wave and don’t allow it to penetrate into my ability to have vision and create. Ride it, don’t drown in it.
I had four days off, worked yesterday, woke up today … just not going to work. (worked 12 yesterday and will work all weekend) It’s okay, I have flexibility in my hours. Just need to get the job done, and I do, quite well. BORING!!!
The Gift from the Sea …. will have to get it. Thanks for the suggestion. I had been focused on personal development for years and year … lot’s of work … wanted to take time off and just be … uh … probably now time to focus on ME development again. Starting to feel a little anxious again. (never been on medicaiton … just processed it) Time to process again ??
There you go, your already progressing. Soon you will be back on your feel and harder to knock off.
Diet. It is all a process, this thing we call life. The Gift From The Sea is written by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, and it is a very quick read, but it equates various phases of life with different shells… I am currently in the Oyster Shell phase, lol
As for the fitness and falling in love thing….. How about you watch that Secret video again and fall in love with yourself. You are already perfect! Discover those things you love most about yourself and share that with the world, and the rest will fall into place. Sign up for those kite surfing lessons girl!
maybe we could chat over the phone. I’m a female, and no, I’m not les.

What do you enjoy doing? Or is that not the issue, is it more like needing a goal to work towwards or something to work for?
Maybe you need a passion in your life, like fostering kids?
J - I think we all hit this bump in the road where we are just soaring for a while before we decide what’s next in life. This is the chance to explore yourself what you like and don’t like, challenge your mind and body and finally get out there an take the bull by the horns and just LIVE any way you want.
Try something - don’t like it move on.
Add a twist to something you do love -make it more of a challenge.
Go back to school for IDK Photography…let’s say.
Good god woman - this is your chance to throw caution to the wind, let your hair down and do something exciting…CAN I PLAY TOO????
tell me about it, dcoke, my parents bug me all the time because it’s the end of my senior year and i haven’t done anything about colleges yet. i’ve got my head in the clouds, or mind elsewhere at least, and I’m having trouble focusing on HERE. Just stick with it, force yourself to do different things and at least FEEL productive or active and soon you’ll get in the habit of just being that way naturally. It’s a good cycle to get yourself into. Find a passion and stick with it, just don’t let it get boring for you along the way. :)

help. I am so bored and complacent that I am about to go out of my skin. My life is safe. I have a good job. I am alone most of the time. I don’t know what to do anymore. I can not seem to get motivated to do anything.
I have no real authentic direction. I come on here and give advice, I suppose because it gives me a sense of value and purpose ….
I am alone. I am without real purpose and direction. Being on the outside looking in it may seem like I have it ‘all’ together. But, really, I don’t know where I am going anymore. I don’t want to be around just for the ride … bored with that. I am here for the duration …
oh … what to do… what to do… I could scream, I don’t know what to do !
diet, are you over the empty feeling and this post or are you just over everything?
Right now, I am feeling pretty over everything. Ready to suck up, be angry and get on with my personal world. Like F**k the world kinda attitude. Something happened. It is not fair to talk about it since it does involve someone here. I believe strongly that it is inappropriate to discuss a problem without all parties involved present. It is just disrespectful to do otherwise.
I am hurting, I have been personally violated … in MY world with MY friends that I have known for years and years! I do not know all of the ramification of this violation just yet. Time will tell. Most of my friends are mature enough to laugh it off … but it is horrible that someone would do what has been done to me.
I don’t know how much I will be here.
There is so much to do in my physical world. I want to focus there. It’s just been hard to be home all alone and people here have helped me adjust with James moving out … but it may be time to move on … I am not sure.
Right now I am violated and hurting. I am sorry that I have to share this with you.
That’s okay girl. I’m sorry that someone from this site (or anyone for that matter)would hurt you. I’m feeling overwhelmed in my life right now, and this is a way to escape, but if it comes to the point where it is just one more problem or area of disappointment then I’d be over it too. I want to ask what happened but if you are not comfortable saying then I understand completely. I’m sure you’re right about your friends they will probably laugh it off.
