lycopodium Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I feel like my life is a giant train wreck. I'm about to grad college in Dec. I am dreading job interview questions about what my goals in life are b/c I honestly do not know. The only reason for getting a job is to pay off my student loans and to be able to afford groceries, rent, etc. I feel like my life is completely devoid of passion. I don't have any hobbies. I'm not religious. I have 1 friend who I'm not even that close with anymore. All I do is go to class+do homework and watch TV+go online. I feel like I don't yearn for anything. I'm just passing the days until I die. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 My meaning in life is to be happy, healthy and be surrounded by love. It's a journey, but a good start is just looking at your life and figuring out what would make it fulfilling. Link to comment
waveseer Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I suggest taking a walk every day with no destination and the only purpose is to practice awareness of the things around you. Once you can relax and pay attention I suggest meditation. The answers are inside you. Link to comment
mikelopez Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 experiment with things you never tried, it helped me be more open minded and get me out the hood life. I tried brazilian jujitsu something I would have never done but I gave it a chance and loved it. I started reading books about goals, self help books, chicken soup for the soul, researching in google how to be happy, and just getting out there is the trick. Get in the gym, eat different, think more positive, look for mentors, for help, talk to happy people. you'll be ok, this is how i started too, asking why am I not happy. Link to comment

YakasJourney Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The secret is to look back to your childhood and remember what you were passionate about then. That passion is still inside you it has just been muted by all the BS of modern society. Link to comment
sidehop Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Do you have anything you've been interested in but did not have time for? You don't have to have a hobby to fill the void. Like others have mentioned sometimes you just have to let it all go and do something out of the ordinary to find things that will interest you. Link to comment
talo Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I would look at reinventing your life with more risk, more danger, more edge, to get some zing in there. Life on the edge has meaning. Testing/using your courage is the way. Link to comment
