What does it mean when you got everything in life going for you. A steady income, going to school pursuing a better career, roof over your head, etc... but at the same time it doesn't mean anything or it's not enough. I just feel like there is something missing. By no means do I feel like I am depressed or anything like that. Well I just thought I'd vent a little and maybe get some suggestions. Does anybody ever feel like this?

I feel like this all the time. Cept I really don't have much going on for me. I think everyone wonders if there is more and if this is what they really want. How do you feel about school? Has it been stressing you out?

I'm doing good in school, no major stress. It's only been at work where I get all this thoughts running through my mind. Even after I finish school in May I'm going to want more and keep going back to school to achieve more. I don't consider myself an over-achiever by any means. I do just enough. It's just a weird feeling that runs through me sometimes, but lately it seems to be happenning more often.

DO you like your job? You say it happens when you are at work. Is there anything specific going on there or anything that secificaly runs through your mind. You say you think something is missing in your life. Is there anything in the past that you miss doing? Is there something that you have been craving? Or perhaps someone? When you ask yourself this question you have to think deep down inside yourself all of these questions. Maybe try thinking if you really enjoy what your doing. Maybe take a vacation by yourself and think for a while. Do you really want to major what your studying for in school? Try doing something different. This is something that nobody can give you an answer to you will have to figure it out all by yourself. Most people do feel like this though it's a common everyday thing. Example my job sucks I am broke all the time and my apartment is crowded and too small. I always wonder if there is more to life if there is more to my purpose am I doing what god intnded me to? Am I happy with myself ? Do I need to do more with my life? These questions run through my head all the time. Usually I think about it for a while and then I just live my day like I always have. Broke and crowded. Then again I will always think but when I really think about it I relize that I don't need to change a thing. I am just fine being who I am and doing what I am doing. So try taking a breather and think and if you really can't think of anything that is missing in your life then just go on with it and know that you are fine just where you are. And if you do find that certain thing missing try to achieve it there is never no problem in that!

I love my job, it's pretty much my externship. I'll get hired on in May when I graduate. After what you said I have a pretty good idea of what it is I am missing. Thanks for all your wise words. I hope things get better for you too, but at least you're making the most of it. I know I have been those situations, being broke all the time and always stressing about things. This feeling that I had was just different from anything that I had felt before. I knew it wasn't stress, just more of an emptiness. I am beginning to understand what it is or so I think.

I know exactly what you are experiencing. The emptiness you are feeling is from a lack of purpose. You are seeking to get satisfaction from material things in life. It will never be enough until you decide to give God a try.
