How can a person find a reason to go on, when they have nothing to look forward to in life?

Answer 2

Because life is worth living... its about challenges... its about trying to conquer different facets big or small!

When l'm feeling down I do one of the following... (maybe you will like some of them)
1) Jump in my car and go drifting
2) Have sex
3) Go out with friends
4) Pick up chicks
5) Go hunting
6) Listen to music (Kid Rock Baby)
7) Watch a comedy or horror movie
8) Do some manual labour outside... it clears the mind (I live on a farm so this is more labour then I would like)
9) Give someone a hard time until they get a complex... sometimes the only way to make you feel better is to make someone else feel worst
10) Have more sex
11) Do more Drifting
12) Go out and Hammered!! :))

Good Luck! l'm sure you will find what you are looking for!

Sorry you feel like this. I do also, for reasons quite beyond my control. I am depressed, vulnerable and totaly lost, but life MUST go on. Somewhere, somehow, someone. They are all in the grand plan of things, and everything happens for a reason my love. Keep your head up and keep going. I do. It's the only way. There is no real solution. It just happens. Tomorrow IS another day.I'm with you.xx

Answer 4

You may not have anything to look forward to right now, but that will change. Everyone goes through blue spells when they feel lonely/depressed/unhappy/whatever. If you did not have those times, you would not realize how nice it is to feel good. My advice: get out, socialize, tell a close friend how you feel. You may have some early symptoms of depression and there are things you can/should do before it gets worse.

Answer 5

Sometimes it's not necessary to look to the future. Right now, today, just focus on staying alive. Tomorrow, you can set a new goal and a new one the day after that. It's okay to take time for yourself and just *be* versus doing, achieving, competing, etc. Just be in the moment you are. Once this stage is over, you can focus on a plan for regrouping. Right now, just set a goal for the next 24 hours or 4 hours or one minute, however you need to do that. It's okay to be tired. We all get tired sometimes. Give yourself this moment. I wish you all the best. If you ever need a listening ear, please email me.

Answer 6

If this question is asked by yourself.you might need a religion to advice you on what's life.

I dont have point to life as well, I have tell so many people if i die this moment, i wont regret. I know I have earn more then enough. I have spend enough.

The point i am still here is an unknown answer.

I guess my point to live is guessing what weather is going to be tomorrow.

Think about this question. this is most old people think as well. ^_^

Answer 7

See how you can change the life of one person that you love. How you can help them live better, may that be your purpose for a while till you find reason enough to live for yourself. May be some day that person would be you!

Life is like a box of chocholate, its tastes better when shared. And when shared life becomes worth celebrating.

Answer 8

We don't need a reason to survive.We survive because that is what we are here to do.When you have nothing to look forward in life you can probably help others to get on with theirs.You can solve other's problems,help the needy and all such.After all we should not reduce ourselves to purposeless mass.
Good luck to you.

Answer 9

I don't know how old you are, but you seem depressed.
Life is what you make it. Parent problems, boyfriend/girlfriend problems sort themselves out. If you really feel that you have nothing to look forward to, get help now.There are alot of free places where you can talk to someone. Look in the telephone book for counseling. Someone will talk to you. There's help out there. I wish you luck.

Answer 10

Because there is always the chance that they will find something to look forward to. You can never know when a purpose to your life will pop up out of nowhere and seize your imagination. Remember that searching is a purpose in and of itself...
