I wouldn't say I'm depressed, but I just really don't know what the purpose is in my life, I mean what was I put on this earth to do exactly? I have no interests in anything, I get up, go to work, come home, watch TV, go to bed, the cycle continues day in day out without any real point or purpose. I have 2 small kids and of course I will do my best by them but that doesn't make me feel fulfilled with life. If I could sum up my feelings with one word that word would be frustration, I just don't know what I am supposed to do in life and I'm not enjoying it.
Career wise, I read in Lucinda's book life without limits something along the lines of, if you really want to know if someone enjoys there work watch them work, I watch work colleagues, they are so into there work and really enjoy it. I on the other hand hate myjob so much I am to fed up being there to even talk to anyone, I can't wait to leave in the evenings, You would think the easy answer would be to change jobs? I've already tried that and it made no difference. At school all the other kids knew exactly what they wanted to do in life, I never did and still don't.
I've only ever been good at one thing or had a passion for one thing and that was playing basketball, Boy I would practise 4-5 hours every day during the week and at weekends I'd be down at the courts all day, and I was so into it I didn't notice time, thats the only time I've ever had passion, and my practise paid off, I became captain of the high school basketball team, went on to play county level and even played on the under 18's for England. Sadly being in England its was never gonna get me anywhere so gave up at 18, I'm 28 now.
I just don't know where to turn to or what to do to give my life meaning and I reckon this frustration with life is the main cause of my bouts of anxiety.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I feel really lost with life?

My god, if you replaced the Bsaketball with baseball, it would be a mirror of my life. First off, did you order the program? If not you should!! Please, don't wait as long as i did! I'm 43 and i just finished the program 3 months ago. Do it while your still young, it will work for you i promise you. It helped me figure things out and it will help you. One thing though, i don't think anyone is supposed to know exactly what we're put on this earth to do. I think it's to be happy and help others. This is a reachable goal, you need to change the way you think. If i could, you can. I feel we are a lot alike you and I, and i don't want to see you waist another precious moment.

Thanks for the reply Bill. I do actually have the program, Have had it for about 2 years and listened to bits of it here and there, I am now on Session 3 doing it properly this time, I am now over my fear of panic attacks etc which is all good I suppose, I just wish I knew now to figure out my purpose in life as I am so frustrated.Originally posted by liberal1964:

You may want to think of it like this...If this were the last day of your life and you knew it, what would you be doing with it???
What type of thoughts would you be thinking? Where would you go? What would you do with this day? Would you look back on your life, and be happy with the decisions you have made? What would you change???
If we lived each day as though it were our very last, then, we would know how to spend our precious present moments!!!!
Life is just too short to live in the past or the future!!!! Make the most of your moments!!!!
Contemplate on these things...Do some soul-searching. Write yourself a compassionate love letter. I am sure you will come up with the answers!!!!
I pray this helped you...God Bless
