Time is so precious, and there seems to be so much to do, and yet I feel so lazy much of the time and selfish with my time when I could be doing better. Where is the balance? I need a time budget and energy to do all that needs done and extra time to just enjoy what God has given me. I want to make everyone happy, please God and feel proud of myself. Seems simple but just writing this I feel some stress and then I usually end up just eating and getting fat and feeling loosy about my life again.

Pleasing everybody is a tall task, I would stick with pleasing God, family and friends, in that order. You are in my opinion putting to much thought into this, you please everybody all the time, just live your life and do what you can. Good luck.

Live life to the fullest. no worries. no complaints. Just take everything all at once. and break it down to put into happy thoughts.. and live that moment by moment. we all would be wasting our lives. crying about things that we would soon get over. or alot of times.. it turns to the best by going through something terrible. and that is also no way to appreciate life. by taking yours granted. You still have a purpose in life.. its yours to decide what that is. Stop wasting and start standing up and being proud of how far youve come while others have given up. thats the best gift you can give yourself about life. give it a try. no worries. no douts. just Happiness.

Realize you cannot make anyone happy (or sad or mad or anything else)...they choose how to react to your behavior, you cannot "make" them anything...so stop trying.
Be the best you that you can be...do it for yourself, because it will give you pleasure and satisfaction. If you need more energy, make sure you are eating right and exercising..getting what your body needs to be able to perform its best.
It's your choice how to live your life...what to do with it. If you choose to eat excessively and feel bad about yourself, that's up to you...but why do that when you can be doing something you know will cause you to be happier and more satisfied?
Make a point of doing at least one positive thing each day, that will effect someone other than yourself. Maybe that'll get the ball rolling for you...

It sounds to me that you are doing exactly what you are questioning about. Life comes with no directions or some written manual to how to live life and be happily fulfilled. If you are happy the way things are then youve got it made, if not then change it and no one on earth can ever tell you how to do it. Find your dream or niche in life and persue it and happiness will follow. good luck

It relies upon at considered a spread of magic you're speaking about. David Copperfield sort magic? No, living without that must be a blessing. ;-) The "magic" it extremely is mind's eye and creativity? that must be a sad existence certainly.

well....
i am a list-making person....i have 2 different 'to-do' lists, one short term list and one long term list.
the short term list i write every Saturday, and everything on it is to be finished on or before Friday. (i put everything I want to get done on it...it is like a calender/planner)
the long term list i number to 50 and fill with fun and exciting and different things i want to do......when I do one I replace it with something else...if i can't think of anything else I want to do I leave it blank, i am sure to see something sooner or later i want to try,
the short list covers work, volunteering, and house cleaning...visiting family, things like that.
the long list covers trips to six flags, back-pack hiking, & handing food, blankets & bibles out to the homeless.....When I erase things I have done sometimes i write them down at the bottom as a foot note, and add them again later.
I find list making a wonderful way to not waste life!
