First of all think of all the things you want in life. Then make another list of everything you want in one week. Then every thing you want in a month. Then everything you want in 6 months, a year, five year and 10 years. By organizing them and putting a time frame on them, you will be able to determine if you really want something for your life. As you accomplish them, you mark them off and add new ones. You modify it all thru life.

I would tell you to pray. Ask God where you are.
Happiness is a choice. You must make that choice. only you
can do it. You sound a little lost. Do you know the Lord? He
can help you with this. Read the book of John in the New Testament & give Him your heart. He will guide you and never
leave or forsake you.
Your still young - maybe you had a rough childhood - it can mess
up your life. How are you doing emotionally? Do you have a
strong support system? Maybe some counseling will help and
also some meds. Don't be too stressed out over this - many
people are in the same boat you are.
We all don't have answers. Find yourself. Discover the wonder
of who you are. See what makes you happy and go with it.
What are your hobbies? what do you do for a living? maybe a
job change is in order? Under alot of stress lately? What event
in your life triggered this episode?
It's ok to ask questions. Hope this helps....

If youre 27 and still have no clue what you want out of life, you might benefit from seeing a counselor. If you don't automatically find happiness in life, then perhaps you're suffering from a low level of depression.
You've got to look hard within yourself. Deal with your feelings, even if they're unpleasnt. Recognize that you might have disassociative tendencies.
I don't know if this applies to you, but you have to avoid escapist activities (binge drinking, drugs, TV, constant sleeping, etc). They help you forget your lack of happiness but long term they make the problem worse.

Wow, this is a big question for someone who hasn't had the pleasure of meeting you. I read somewhere that WHY we do something ultimately determines WHAT we do. You won't find lasting meaning in accumulating wealth material things. Volunteer somewhere, focus on something bigger than youself. Get "off self" and get "on purpose". It will help you to be satisfied and fulfilled where you are now in life while figuring out where you want to be.
More important than anything else, though, I want you to realize that there is essentially a void in each of us that only a personal relationship with God can fill. He loves you more than life and is just waiting patiently for you to invite Him in.

How can we answer a question like this? I mean who but YOU and the people around you know you best? I will tell you that happiness comes from within. If your internal conditions--ie: your mind/heart--are relatively in a content, spiritual place then your external--ie: where you live/work/play/etc. won't matter. If you are looking for thing's outside yourself--ie: your question--then you will never find them. The road to freedom and enlightenment is being honest with yourself. Try simple breathing meditation..Look to yourself for the answers, because only you know what is best for you...

I am 38, and still don't know what I want. But I know what I have. I thank God everyday for blessing me with 2 beautiful children after such a horrific life. I never had plans, never had dreams, I just wanted to make it through the day. I did, and I will make it to tomorrow to answer another question. Good luck with your quest!!

What do you like to do in your spare time? Are you good at any one thing? If you are can you make a living doing it?
I was good at memorizing trivial facts, so I became a teacher, perfect fit! A teacher has to know lots of stuff. Good luck. Keep your head up! Life usually becomes more certain in your 30's.

Not trying to be funny. Why don't you turn around and see what you have in your life now. If you like what you see and proud of what you have, then you don't need nothing else. If you don't like what you see. Make a change. I can't tell you what you want out of your life. Only you knows this. I can only tell you what I want.

God, you sound just like me a year ago... and just like me only a year older right now.
The only advice I can give you is to try something different until you find some things you like. Then figure out how to make money off of them... hasn't worked for me yet though.

if you ask the Creator God to direct your life, He will give you dreams and goals that will make you happy. Then He will help you fulfill them. He will do it because He made you and loves you.If you know that your relationship with Him is right and your wrong deeds are forgiven( they all can be) you will be happy.
