First you need to develop an attitude of GRATITUDE not ENTITLEMENT.
When I was in your headspace, my mentor had me do this exercise. Every night before sleep, I was to think of at least 20 things I was grateful for from the day just passed. It was amazing how fast the list grew! Soon I truly was feeling that, despite my poverty, I was a wealthy woman.
Get out of your comfort zone and go to a third world country. You will learn more about life and sacrifice from watching the little beggar girl in Bangalore for one minute than you will from your comfortable seat here.
Now I must ask a few pertinent questions.
Do you believe in reincarnation? Do you believe this is IT, our one life and then it is all over like the brief flare of a fire cracker? Were you brought up in a fiercely religious Irish Catholic home? Or were your parents new age and left you to find your own god when you were old enough to do it yourself? Were you raised rich or poor? Are you spiritual or empirical? All of these things deeply effect your view on the world and your place in it.
The world has changed, my friend. It used to be, life included a lot of hard stuff, challenges. Different challenges than we face today, truly a survival of the fittest. Or slimiest. One had to work hard and be versatile to survive. Things were more affordable despite the value difference of the $ between then and now. We and our children were brought up in a very affluent culture and had certain expectations. People used to have children and were part of their lives from beginning to end. Lives were solid. Perhaps claustrophobic at times, but there.
Family and heritage is what you ARE. In most cultures that means something. That is the strength of a nation, the unity of its families. Part of the Illuminati plan for destroying America has been their insidious devaluation of all we hold dear as traditional values and desires. The founding fathers, whilst mainly Illuminati themselves, would roll over in their graves to see their America today. The Patriot Act would appall them. The Illuminati and their patsies (The Bush Cartel) have changed it all right under our noses and only now are we beginning to smell the burnt coffee.
The family system has been shattered and our people are weak. They have lost hope and optimism. They have been bankrupted spiritually and end up like you, wondering what there is in life to make it all worthwhile. Walton’s Mountain, Little House on the Prairie, remember those very true American lives? After all, you have been doing things right. Where are the goodies? The difference between then and now is the value placed on family and real values. That is the true stat of life as it SHOULD be.
What we are living in now is not the natural state of things.
Sadly the change from family to individual or single values has been sneaking up on us insidiously for so long most people today think it is the way it should be. They have been programmed to forget the past. Only today matters. People have forgotten the value of family and of life because now it is just so hard to just survive. Besides commitment takes strength of person. The media has killed the word commitment.
The state has moved into our most personal lives and taken away much of our natural joy and optimism in life, the things that gave our sacrifices value. I used to think it was just cooking and loss of control over what we ate but now I see how they have stolen the joy of raising our children! When women stayed at home and the family was whole, we knew our children and they knew us.
When women began to work, one of the Rockefellers claimed that they had funded the women’s’ feminism movement because this way they made more money on many fronts. They now had two family incomes to tax. AND, as a bonus, they were getting their hands on the future citizens at a younger age. And the parents paid for THAT as well! Suddenly life has lost some of its luster and there is more work, loss of quality of life. Instead of time with your child, you pay for someone else to spend that time
.
That sequence of life you describe has been sacred and beautiful to the human race for hundreds of thousands of years. Hope and optimism, laughter and true freedom are hard come by today. Do you see now where it is disappearing from your own life? You are feeling the malaise and general weight of the times on a very personal level. Remember the quality of life when you were little.
You can either accept defeat by embracing the despair of the dark side, or you can make a conscious decision to do what you can to turn things around. Personally, I prefer the latter option. Life is damn heavy at times. That is what it is all about, being tested. Becoming more finely tuned as we move through the universes of time and space. But it ain’t easy.
Just acknowledge this is the way of things and move on, doing your best to spread light and knowledge. It is our only chance. If you believe in reincarnation you know all this and are busy working towards the next generations when we might inhabit this planet again.
So stop whining, find something good and do it. Play soccer with your kid or the kid next door. Walk your dog. Keep your eye open for beauty. Do the right thing at all times. Think about your own motives. I wish you well. It is not easy.

From what I have gathered and researched - the purpose of life is happiness - and the way to get there is to give rather than receive - because by giving - you get back 10 fold what you give. If you love others more than yourself - you will be loved by others and your life will feel fulfilled and staisfied. Money and possessions are nice - but real happiness and life enrichment come from the joy you get and give to others. People who do these things are the most satisfied, while people who lie, cheat, steal and are generally out for themselves - are never happy or fullfilled and usually miserable.
I am not saying become a monk - just give and you will recieve - love and you will be loved. I think it is that simple. This is a timeless message passed on by people who acheive happiness in their old age.

We are apart of an entangled universe. We were always here and will always remain. YOU, (believe it or not) are apart of the Universe and our inner being asked to be brought upon in a conscience of creation. We are creators and thru Laws of Attraction allows you to pro create. So I say, you can just wait around and not enjoy the inner tools that can bring joy to ones self. Or learn more about yourself and with the help of your inner being and have what everyone originally wants.JOY- When you were born no one was their to hand out the rules of a physical/nonphysical life, this is for you to find out. If you want you will, and when you do you have J O Y.

You made the right answer -
"just live the moment because i started to feel the shortness of life"
You don't have to change anything or be perfect, live your life so you don't have regrets and live with integrity and goodness to others and when you die you can know in your heart you lived your life in the very best way possible. Also don't leave your desires unattended....

i also feel that time runs up and i am sure i won't have any kids
i live for perfection because this is what makes me happy
and when i say perfection, i don't refer only to a domain:
i am happy when my hair looks perfect, when i can breath perfectly ( i have asthma, and i wanna be normal again), i am happy when i write a good program as i'm very passionate about robotics, i can't wait to become a neurologist, not to help others but to understand the brain completely, i am happy when i relax in a spa, when i have orgasm
i love my life and this is something said by a person that has tried killing herself, so don't think that life is in vain
perfection makes me happy in everything, and although i'm not always satisfied with myself i am very happy when i see progress at me

Don't stress over trying to be perfect. Make every moment count, but don't do stuff without regard for the consequences of your actions. Consider getting to know God as a friend, and that will give you purpose in life. If you don't want to do that, at least focus on helping others, and that will make you happier because you'll know you aren't just living for yourself.

The only thing that we as humans receive is the satisfaction of
accomplishing what we set out to do. If that is to find religion,
be rich, have a big family, etc... Whatever our individual goals
are. Think of it as a project, when i finish a project I like to look
back at it and enjoy it. The same is of life; Accomplish what we
set out to do and in our dying days look back at it and enjoy.

Right now, I'm trying to acquiring independence, a career, and hopefully a husband. It's so hard to get the independence because due to disabilities, people won't give me the chance to prove myself.

I think your real mission in life is to show your passion in everything that you do.
