Have you ever.....?

Question

come to a point in your life where you just feel like a failure and want to quit everything? What's the point of living??? Sure family and friends are important and you shouldn't think of stuff like this, but what is ones TRUE calling in life and when can you experience it? I feel hopeless, helpless, like a failure......

Answer 1

Only when I've lost my vision and strown from my path. I have felt like a failure so many times. When we screw up we really come down on our selves. We feel unworthy and feel that anything we have to say or do is stupid and unimportant.Stop that guilt filled destroying voice you hear that makes you feel inadequate or stupid. That voice you hear condemning you has been there most of your life. Your subconscious has recorded everything you have ever heard or been told. So, in time a cue word or action from your past will trigger the recordings in your subconscious and they will play over and over in your head until you lose all respect for yourself. Makes you feel incapable. Tell the detrimental voice to shut up! Tell it it's a liar and you are not listening to it anymore. Do this whenever you hear this voice telling you to give up and that you aren't worthy or capable. It will eventually go and never bother you again. You will now be successful. You are a wonderful person with much to offer the world and those close to you. Need clarification?I can help. I had the voices from my past destroying me until I took authority over them. Didn't get free overnight, but then I didn't get in that bad way overnight either. And your true calling will come to light after you have worked on and perfected yourself through gained freedoms o f the mind and spirit. YOU ARE WORTHY!

Answer 2

You seem depressed, and my heart goes out to you. If you've felt like this for a couple of weeks or more, I strongly suggest that you see a Dr for it. You may have depression, which is a bona fide illness. It's very treatable, so please find comfort in this.

If this isn't depression, but an occastional state of being down in the dumps, everyone goes through this. What are you feeling like a failure about?

Because this is R&S, I feel free to give you my honest answer. Our purpose in life is to know Him and to worship Him. Yes, God has a purpose for you, and you were created every so carefully and beautifully, with qualities and strengths, so that you can best serve Him by what you do. Are you artistic? Perhaps a career in the arts is for you. Do you like kids? Maybe teaching is for you. What is your strength? Build upon that.

God created you with the most delicate care and love! He is closer to you than even your jugular, and is more friend to you than you are to yourself. We're human and finite, so we're not able to fathom God, because He is so huge, so awesome, so MUCH. But I do want you to know that you are loved and protected and provided by Him. The fowls of the air and the beasts of the field receive their meat each day from Him, so surely He provides for you and wants you to be happy and fulfilled.

Answer 3

Yeah, I know how you feel. I have a college degree (two, actually) that I've never been able to use and feel like a failure. My husband left me for an OLDER woman, so that also makes me feel like a failure. I lost my home and had to move myself and my daughter out of state to live with my parents and that makes me REALLY feel like a failure.

The clincher is, when I tried to kill myself, I failed at that too. Go figure.

I don't know if we have a "true calling" at all. I guess you have to find that for yourself.

Sorry, that probably didn't help much.

Answer 4

i feel like that every day. you would've made a good nin fan before nin got all political. :)

true calling? depends on the person. i want to be a rock star. it's a crazy dream, and i'd better not quit my day job, which i don't even have right now. i can probably never experience it. good enough to play in a low rate bar maybe.. anywhoo.

keep searching for answers. i have some of the same issues you've expressed. there's light at the end of the tunnel. i hope so anyway.

Answer 5

ah, ones true calling.
as though life is as simple as a fork in the road, and it'll be obvious which path to take.
Unfortunatly, life isn't really like that. it's full of difficult decisions, and sometimes, of having to take "two steps forward and one step back"
You can spend years and thousands of dollars persuing a degree, only to decide once you have the job that it isn't what makes you happy.
You have to decide what is truely important to you. is it having a family, settling down? is it making as much money as you possibly can, or is it living one extreme adventure after another? after you've decided what you want most out of life, you have to start planning accordingly. for example, my big thing in life is to settle down and raise a family. i achieve that by first of all, finding someone worth doing that with, and then, starting to build a life in which to bring a child into the world.

everyone makes mistakes. and everyone feels failures. to get to where i am (between the finding someone and building the life) i seemed to take a lot of one steps forward and two steps back. but i'm finally here.

dont ever feel like a failure. because with failure comes the determination to win. only when you've tasted defeat can you truely enjoy victory. set your eyes on your goal and persue it.

Answer 6

Yes more than once, and let me tell u what happened some of the times that helped me.I was at a home worship time and the lady leader asked us, how much are u worth? I said not much.And I was corrected, when she said that GOD gave all HE had to offer in HIS son JESUS, to die for me, so that I could live.I have used that knowlege 100's of times to feel worthy enough to continue in life.I also remember scripture that lifts me up, 1Thessalonians 4;13,I can do all things thru CHRIST who strenghtens me.And make sure u eat healthy. ur blood sugar can cause u to have physical depression.eat a balanced meal, it doesn't have to be alot just something good,like fruit and vegetables.email if u want for more info.but remember to know with ur mind, u are worth the SACRIFICE GOD made for u.

Answer 7

Yes.

I think we all come to a crisis point every once in a while. You can view it as a test of faith and stay the course or as a chance for rebirth start of something new.
Either way, you will emerge from this time a stronger person.

Answer 8

No one can be a failure if Jesus Christ died for them. Remember that none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. But thank God every day He gives us another opportunity to start again. Don't look back. Don't look ahead. Just live for today.

Answer 9

Yes, it is natural when you are in a physically difficult situation. However, if you are not, and you just want to do something use full, my advice for you is to donate money to the fund created in order to prosecute the "judges" responsible for the death of the late democratically-elected Yugoslav president Milosevic. You can help through the website: www.slobodan-milosevic.org/

Answer 10

i went through a period like this once and looking back i think it was because life can get pretty monotonous sometimes can't it? what i did was i started table tennis and enrolled myself for a tournament that was just one month away...everyone said i was crazy!! because this tournament would be full of people who had learnt TT for more than one year! but i needed some challenge in my life to renew it...so i went for practices everyday..kept my goal in my head and u know what? i got 2nd place in it :D:D i was soooo happy!! that was out of like 250 players who had more than one year of experience!!!

may be u should start something new to invigourate yourself a bit because boredom can slowlt lead to depression and feelings of worthlessness.

i hope everything will be fine for u,take care :)

and the more things you try out,the more chances that u will find you're true calling fast!! i had a cousin who absolutely hated netball but she was always bugged by the netball teacher to try out cos she was really tall..she went for practices about 3 months without liking it one bit but now she really enjoys it and she's very good at it..
