Life advice, cannot concentrate on my ambition?

Question

I dont feel I spend enough time concentrating on my ambitions in life, I work full time in a computer shop and when i come home from work i find it hard to concentrate on my true ambition of making music videos, its like after a full days work, all I want to do is sit down relax and watch tv,
So I wanna know has anyone else has had this problem and how would you recomend I get through it

Answer 1

Define "Making Music Video's" is your first step.
Then work out what you have to do to achieve that goal.

Next, you make a plan of how you are going to do what you have to, allowing for time-out etc.
Break it down into bite-sized chunks so when you come home from work you can do a constructive hour or two instead of facing a big unknown.

Answer 2

This is free advice, and as such is worth every penny you paid:
If, after a hard day at work, you come home and don't have the energy to "chase your dream", you may only THINK that's your dream; step back for a moment and visualize what you REALLY want, then develop a plan with a specific timeline to get to "there".

It's like being on a diet; if you cannot summon the willpower to not eat that quart of HagenDaz calling to you from the freezer, or to take that extra mile walk, then maybe, deep-down, you really aren't all that bothered that you are a bit fat!

I think what you're going through is normal for someone in your situation. I wouldn't stress too, too much about it. We all eventually get to that point where we just feel like we're stuck in a blurry fish bowl, the things that drive us there varying. I understand how you are concerned with falling behind with your peers, but if you are just worried because they are "brighter" than you, don't be. We all perform differently on tests, which is your problem right now. You said your grades are dropping because of the stress and pressure. So you're not falling behind because you don't have it in you, but rather because you are having to deal with things that they are probably not. Maybe you can study more at the school or town library or at a park. For me, what helps calm my mind is simply praying. I kinda vent out all of my feelings and then ask for help. The key is to keep the faith, because once you let go of it, it feels like hope is gone, which it never is, but it will feel like it, which is rough. Also, I journal. Just my thoughts and feelings, sometimes I write poems, sometimes prayers, sometimes barely anything, but it usually helps me clear my mind. I don't know you, but I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. It's never easy, but I'll be praying for you. :)

Yes it gets like that a bit doesnt it. Planning is a good first step but maybe you can kick-start by taking a week off work and really focsing on what you want to do and doing it for that week.
