How do I create the life I want? How do I know what to do with my life?

Question

I am having trouble figuring out "what to do next" in my life. I know that sounds funny for those of you who have somewhat of a perspective on the whole thing, but I feel like a scared little mouse in a maze right now! Why can't I be the hawk flying over?

Things to do next (I'm 26) include abrubtly moving to a ski town and working the slopes for the rest of the winter season....

Moving to Nashville to pursue music further (I am a fiddler and singer)

Moving to a college town and getting a masters degree of some sort.....

ARGH!

Feeling lost and directionless....

Answer 1

I understand. Go with the flow and enjoy the ride. Whatever you do is what creates your reality. By all means move to a ski town and work the slopes. It doesn't matter -- things will happen and whatever happens will affect your life. You are feeling directionless now, but things will come together for you. The fact that you ask this question means you are still alive and searching. Bodhisattva.

Answer 2

You can create the life if you understand yourself & the things around you. Again in this you cant achieve 100% without bringing in " Faith in Unseen" things. This is perfectly in line with today's science also.Example, in Maths we assume "Limit tends to infinity" and solve many complex problems. What is this Infinity? No man knows it. SImilarly in Physics we assume a smallest wave particle called "Photon" which dont have any proof for existence physically, then proceed with atomic physics. Without such assumption & faith, physics is meaningless. So faith is not against science, it is a part & basis of science. We need peace in life. Peace means being calm, bold & able to control your anxiety during the ups & downs which occur in our life. This can be attained only by means of Total submission of Our Will to the Supreme Power, The Almighty God. No need to pay for it as it comes from within our mind. It is not related to our physical body directly. If peace is related to money, how do you think, the 30% of the world population who lives below poverty line can live in this world. Rich people keep spending money ( Drinks, Women, More Luxury etc) still they say " No Peace". Studies show that Heart Problems & other health problems are on steep rise every where in spite of people becoming more rich. Why? No Peace. Majority fail to understand the purpose of this life, dont know what is death even though this is the only thing which has the Probability 1 for every one. This is where Religion comes into picture. Go into the original source of all the world religions, start researching what each is saying to attain peace. You will conlude your answer as Islam for your question.

Answer 3

You create the life that you want by "Being" the person that you are. Life mimics who we are, not the other way around. Life will come at you like a freight train, just be yourself and do what you do. Life is just a series of decisions, follow the ones you want to make and make certain that's where you want to go. It's like reading a road map, if you wanted to go to California and you lived in Colorado, you certainly wouldn't drive east, unless of course, you wanted to see the world, and even that would be an adventure. Believe that you are EXACTLY where you need to be at any given time, and that's EXACTLY where you WILL be. You will do just fine, trust in yourself. I guarantee that you are going places, just enjoy the ride wherever you go!

Those who try to control life, end up in mental institutions. It actually can't be done, not without great cost to ourselves and our health. In reality, who we ARE defines every moment that we live on this planet. I'm 51 years old, have taught Metaphysics and Occult science, studied philosophy and Eastern thought. We're okay, just where we are. We don't have to make any major decisions until life throws them at us, and even then, we don't always have to. Life will make decisions for us if we let it and then we don't have to worry, we can trust that the Universe is taking care of us. That's a wonderful feeling.

Good luck and Godspeed! I envy you your youth.

Answer 4

One thing I've learned is that no matter how far you get, or how much power you gain. You will ALWAYS have to answer to someone. Fortunately, you are in a position to answer things for yourself. You have the power to make your own choices. And whichever falls more heavily on your heart could lead you to which direction you truly want to follow. You always have your Bachelor's if the music doesn't do well for you. I do wish you good luck.

Answer 5

The problem is your trying to do too many things at one time. You can do them all, but just one at a time. You create the life you want by steps. You can't be in three places at one time. But you can be in them all by being patient and organizing your steps.

Answer 6

First thing in your life is ...thinking about your goals. What do you like to achieve in the next 35 years ? Imagine your position there.

once made that definition, your next steps in your life are absolutely clear ...and you don't need to ask anybody anymore what you have to do...

Answer 7

You don't create your life, it is life that is creating you... but take it as it comes and plan what is attainable. Take it into considerations that the dream is sometimes just a dream to reckon with with the life that creates you.

For a spare time, why not visit old flings around and see what they got for you?

Answer 8

well, i'd like to think it's just a phase to make us slow down a bit in life. i'm in the same situation (scary ) just older by ten years..still options are endless but with some strange overwhelming twists...anyway. cheer up and take it easy. ;-)
