What should I do with my life?

Question

I am 23, married, have a little boy on the way, work at a awesome job that pays very well, and live in SoCal. I think all of this is great, but I feel like there is something more I should be doing with my life. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

no what else could you want

Answer 2

we will never be satisfied with what we have. I dont know if its a good thing because it is what has made the human race evolve as quickly as it has technologically. Or it could be the reason why there are so many tragedies occurring round the world right now. We always want what we cant have and we always want more even when we have it all. Nobody can tell you what will make you feel more fulfilled or happier. I think the point of our existence is figuring it out for ourselves.

Answer 3

Your gonna have to find out for yourself. No one can tell you whats right for you. Just try experiencing new things, new hobbies, new foods, new music, dabble in seeking religion, until you find what it is your searching for. But remember sometimes its not the prize at the end of the journey, but its the journey itself that makes it all worth it. Sometimes the best thing a man can do is just be a good Father/Husband/Son/Brother.

Answer 4

it seems that you have everything wrapped and handy like feeding from a silver spoon. The only thing i think is making you feel anxious is maybe you need to divert your purpose to somtehing else. Why not try going to the church now and then and read the bible? just a suggestion.

Answer 5

If you feel there should be more than definitely consider thinking about what you could be doing to make your life better. If you feel you could intellectually be doing better then consider going back to college and studying for a new career. If you feel you should help others then volunteer.

Answer 6

Maybe you could volunteer a few hours each week to work with the homeless, or doing some other type of volunteer work that you feel would be meaningful.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Give back. You're describing a blessed moment of life and now you can not only do good for others, but get to show by example to your son (who you can involve later as he grows) that material things can give pleasure, but meaning is realized through giving (and often receiving) of one's time, money and most importantly caring and understanding to others.

It makes me smile to read that someone at your age in your situation is looking deeper. Thanks.

Peace

Answer 8

There is always that spirit of adventure that lives in each of us. We always, by nature, want to explore and experience new places and opportunities. If this is what you're after, get out there and accomplish what you want to do. Enrich yourself by broadening your horizons.
Suggestions: You could go sky diving, you could try to make new
friends, or you could travel to a new country and learn
a new culture.

Answer 9

All this advice to find yourself a hobby or start a new career is worthless. You need to do something worth it, something for which you will be remembered. Do something for others instead of just yourself and your life will have meaning.

Answer 10

are you involved at church or in any non-profit organizations? find something you identify with and get involved. Try habitat for humanity or Become a Big Brother. Start a scholarship fund with a specific purpose and for specific people.by asking for endorcements and donations.

Answer 11

I suggest that you don't read a book named: Siddhartha. The poor fellow in that little book had exactly the same question and his journey starts.
