Hi everyone.. from past few months I'm lacking interest in everything. Almost numb. I feel there is no one who really understands me. I'm bad at expressing myself. I'm better at understanding others but fail to understand myself. I'm an above average student. But I'm not at all interested in the field that I've chosen (no it was my parents choice, not mine). I have many desires, but I think I can't make them real. I don't believe in my strength. I'm a loser. There were few incidents in my past, where I failed whenever I went after what I desired for. So I feel hopeless about myself. I still don't know what is my problem. Future scares the hell out of me. I'm not at all happy with the way I'm living. I know there are many people like me who are lacknig motivation. I need your advice. Thank you..

Hi, asthavyasta!

My first question to you is, what sort of good things have happened in your life recently, please?

Everyone has bad things that happen. Sometimes, it's hard to see the good things because of our focus on what is bad.

Thanks!

I have that same numb feeling, and I also have a hard time understanding myself more than others. But as for the thinking less of yourself, I did the same thing in the past and realized that it didn't help my situation at all. So I began to think the highest of myself. Even if its not all true. I just Tell myself I can do anything and it often helps accomplish many things. As for the direction, I get that you can't always do what you want at the times you want. So instead of jumping straight into your goals, take small steps toward them until you have the time to complete them. Seems to work for me.

Good luck.

Hi, gnileefon!

Choosing to think positively is definitely a good thing!

It really is a matter of choice...

Thanks!

Yes, you have one concern, and one concern only: TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. Make yourself better each day; make the most of yourself. You can accomplish this by finding ways to have money. Money, unfortunately or fortunately, helps a lot to advance in life. You must have money so you can enjoy yourself. At least get the money issue out of the way while you find your purpose.

Forgot: start reading books about getting rich: 'poor dad, rich dad', the science of getting rich by wattles; Think and Go Rich by Napoleon Hill. Bless be.
