I'm a 21 yr old male still lost in the "I don't know what i want to do with my life" valley.And I would like a little advice on getting there.
I know that no one can tell me what to do with my life. but it will be nice to hear from those of you whom have dealt with this question in life and feel they have defeated it. As for my talents i am very creative with writing.I have an eye for design and fashion,I like photography, but I'm not very good in this area.
I have been told i could be a model, but is that really a career..lol I am Patient and told that i have a calm and nurturing presence. please any one who cares help? where can any of this get you in life?

Interesting.
My 23 yr old son is right where you are and has been since he left high school. He has been in college but has changed his major three times so still has no degree. He is never satisfied with his part-time jobs and always moves on. If we were not helping him financially, he would be homeless.

Now the good side. No one can tell you what to do. Listen to suggestions, research everything, keep looking and making goals.
The problem with trying to find out what you want to do for the rest of your life is that it is a HUGE STEP. It is always better to look at tiny steps that turn into small steps that turn into larger steps and so forth. One good thing leads to another.
But if you get paralyzed by making this decision you get stuck in a RUT. Start small and keep adding on. And I guarantee you will find your way.

Go with your interests first. What do you really like to do?
What can you do for a very long time without getting bored?
What can you see yourself doing in 20 years? What is your main goal in life? (marriage, kids, career, money etc). The more well-rounded you become the BETTER. You will always have something to turn back on when times get rough. And it looks good to any employer in any field.

Here are some ideas for the rest of your life:
Get an education and never stop adding more
Read on subjects that interest you, that is how we learn
Meet people in many different areas as you never know
when that person will offer you a better life (job, etc)
It is called "Networking" and successful always do it.
Get out of your home and get involved. You will never ever
find your lifes path while staying home. Be creative.
Follow people you admire. You become who you hang around
with. Success breeds success. Hang with those you want
to become.
Find a job now that may work into bigger and better things.
The problem is when you feel you are too good for a job or
when you get a job that has no advancement.
Write down an outline for the life you want. This will be your
roadmap to success. Follow it one small step at a time.
Learn to save money. The only way you can be successful in
life is to get ahead financially and to do this you must not only
save money but invest wisely.

I started my life in Poverty. One parent, no one to understand me, no light of hope. But I decided I would be the best I could be and decided I needed college as a tool to get away from home. It not only worked but it was my stepping stone to a great future. I got my degree and never stayed in that line of work. Instead I decided to marry and go into business and invest money wisely. Now I am retired at 50 and wealthy. I can spend time on the computer and do whatever I wish. But I never stop learning and never stop striving for my path in life. I have free time now to help others and to follow my destiny.
You can too.

By the way, my son just got a great job working with Teens on Probation as a Coach/Counselor. He has always felt the need to help teens and now he is trying it out. I am confident he will be great. And it is a good step for him. He needs to build up his confidence (and you may too) and know he can do anything he really wants.

Good Luck

See an Arvigo practitioner and decide to a drug-unfastened hard work. The frame works extra effeciently on its possess while medications don't seem to be worried. Drug-unfastened contractions are the frame's typical method of supplying your youngster, with very little pushing. I used maya belly therapeutic massage(MAM) to eventually conceive and Self Care for the period of my being pregnant. My hard work was once amazing and the tough middle stuff handiest lasted approximately an hour finishing with handiest 2 well pushes...the one purpose it took 2 and now not only one push was once considering the fact that the twine was once wrapped round my daughter's neck. The are studies of a midwife in Colorado making use of MAM with all her prenatals and has but to have a girl hard work for greater than four hours!!

So listen to your "passion" that's the most important clue to your life's rewards. Have you ever thought of being a "hair stylist"? That's a lucrative profession, I cannot find ANYONE that can cut/style hair. Everyone wants to color, I kinda fancy being the 'Best" cutting stylist there is but I already have a satisfying occupation. Now if you were going back to college I would think you would head to a Newspaper in the Advertising Department, you write, like photography, like fashion. Well that's what I would do anyway. Say the world is your oyster! xx

I'm 23 and still don't know... I know people 42 and who still don't know... maybe the key is to not worry about it and just live life day by day.
