you dont have all the ansewers

you need to find christ

you need to learn to love yourself easier said than done i know. get some professional help it works. you are young with much to offer the world and others but mostly yourself. don’t give up

I’ve been there, buddy. I made buckets of money and had everything I should’ve wanted and yet I was miserable.

Why? Because I needed the world to prove that it was worth my time. My mistake was that I was always focused on myself. I never worked at reaching out to others. It doesn’t really matter what you do for a living. The key is whether you choose to be a positive influence in the lives of others.

Volunteering, listening, assisting, focusing on what others need… that is what will motivate you and give you contentment in life. You will never find satisfaction in work or money. Helping people is the only way to do it.

Personally I think religion is a waste of time but the reason it works for some people is it does what I’m suggesting: it forces you to get outside your own head and think about other people.

You will develop a confidence, sense of identity and worth, and a network of friends if you take this advice.

If you need help getting started, get Don Gabor’s book “How to start a conversation and make friends”. Go to meetup.com and join social groups. Reach out! Ask questions!

Dig for the gold in everyone and you’ll be rewarded with interesting and supportive relationships.

My life sucked a few years ago, my husband cheated with family member, and from there i went to a down hill. I wanted to get even well instead of me hurting him. I would do things to hurt me. I would pick the skin off my feet aand i mean to make me hurt. I would go steal just so i would get caught, so i could embasse him. Any thing i could do.. I to thought about killing myself, on top of that my mother died, and the blow was bad. It has taken me a long time, but i now know how t handle it. U need to do a lot of praying, and asking God for help and he will answer you.

There are a lot of people like you, people who have bought into the idea that a good paying job, plenty of money, and lots of stuff will make them happy. While there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with those things, they won’t bring happiness.

You need to find what makes you happy or fulfilled. It could be your job, meaning a different job, but it doesn’t have to be. There are many people who feel a monkey could do their jobs but find fulfillment in other things, like as volunteering, as Llinuxya said. How do you find out what makes you happy and fulfilled? Keep trying new things. Something will work.

Now if I could only take my own advice…

hey…. i understand what you’re going through cuz i’m going through the same thing. i work as an auditor with good salary, but there’s so many pressure and long hours. most of my clients dont treat me well too. working long hours could be really2 boring…. that’s why i understand the emptiness, depression and the loneliness that you’re facing…
however, i just want you to know that you are a worthy human being and that you were created purposefully and wonderfully for something that only you can do..
see, i believe that there’s a hole in every man’s heart that only christ can fill. i was so empty, disoriented and confused (tho everything looks fine on the outside) 2 years ago until i met god. when that happened, everything just became make sense, on why on earth you’re here on earth, on why you were created, etc. and you’ll find a purpose in relationship with the loving father. what you need is jesus’ love to fill you. this would cheer you up everytime you think life is boring.
think about this.
