Help! My future seems so empty?

Question

So basically, I'm 15 years old (meaning yes, I still have a year or two before I really need to even START to worry/think about this) and I have no idea what I want to do in my life at all. It seems like I completely fail at everything I love to do in one way or another. I don't want to get stuck doing some stupid meaningless job that I hate. All I know is that I want to make a difference one way or another and being a clerk at some store isn't going to get me that. I know that we all make a difference somehow but I want to make a difference doing something I love to do.

I love to write, happen to suck at that.

I love to dance, (the only thing I'm good at or used to be good at) I've had a problem with my weight for a while and frankly, I don't see how that would work out.
Okay so I'm running out of characters but basically. I suck at everything I love or there's something holding me back that is almost impossible to overcome. What do I do? I can't live my life doing something I hate

Erm... please ignore random question mark in the Question...

Answer 1

Relax. Life is full of doors. Your writing here is basically great for a fifteen year old. Write three pages of what you see in a day (all the characters) and forget about the book until tomorrow, then write three more pages, try to keep the flow, and by the time you graduate you will have a book to publish, and you can publish it yourself. Learn to market your book before you finish it, and you will be fine. Guaranteed if you don't lose focus. The weight will come off if you change your eating habits or try to run a mile until you make the mile, which might take a month or two, before you know it, you will be running four miles and will never believe you had a weight problem. Good Luck!

What a life you have there! You're only 15... your life is yet to begin!!! Take your time, you can't make live go any faster! There's no such thing " as a stupid meaningless job". Each job is necessary! Besides, many children much younger than you are inventing ways of helping people in the 3rd World. Your situation is definitely temporary, and I'm sure you're not a failure, you're seeing yourself that way, because you've fail a few things, so what? you have to learn how life works and you're on the process of mastering it. You're not the only one, at your age, most Ado's do the same mistakes than you. Take your time, quit putting pressure on you, you would get discouraged, try and do lots of physical excerces, take long walks and think of how you've handle that one thing you failed at, examine it, you'll find the bad part of it that made made you fail. Then reajust yourself and learn from that. This is how we mature and get better at what we do and find out what we like to do. I wish you very good luck and take care!

Answer 3

I will make this short because you have some others that wrote a book and I hope it all helps. Here is my help.

I was the same as you and failed at everything. When I got to college I could not read or write very well and now I go to it so the point.

If you don't do well and you don't keep trying you'll never If it doesn't the first time and you keep going soon it will.

I'm here and I am writing and reading still can't spell very well but spell check helps how a bout that.

Answer 4

You know, I feel the same way. I've never met someone that felt the same way I did. Nice to meet you! Hi.

So anyways, I'm under 30 years old - that is all I'm going to say on my age. I love to do a lot of things. I do know one thing. I am compassionate about everything I do. I am loyal, etc. etc. What you do is go out there and give it your best and that is all anyone can expect from you anyways.

Just enjoy life and don't fall for a guy-it's not worth it.

Travel, meet people and above all believe in yourself. Just be happy your alive. Remember to always live a right and just right and in the end you will come out tall!

Answer 5

You are only 15, you shouldn't feel so much pressure about your life or your abilities. It seems like it's not a case of you "sucking" at things, so much as other issues.

It sounds like you may suffer from low self-esteem and depression. You really need to talk to your parents about this. If you really don't feel like you can talk to them, talk to your school guidance counselor, although I would recommend making an honest effort to talk to your parents first. See if you can go to a psychiatrist or someone else equally qualified and talk to them about the problems you are having in your life. They can help you work through your problems and work on your self-esteem.

I understand how you feel, but in the meanwhile, don't worry so much about being "good" at things, so much as enjoying what you do. Enroll in writing and dancing workshops to improve your skills while you do what you love. Your skills aren't perfect right now, but Leonardo Da Vinci didn't paint the Mona Lisa when he was 15, either.

Answer 6

just learn how to believe in your self. when i was in middle school i used to be like you. until today sometimes i think im still the old used to be me. to tell you honestly i don't have any talents at all. i love to write but i think my skill sucks compare to my other classmates now in college. im not a honor student either. my teachers in elementary days hates me. i cant dance nor sing. im not athletic nor i cant do any sports. this is how i see my self before.

until one day i had this professor in philo he lets me realized many things about my self. he always told us that he doesnt believe in grades it was just digits or letters w/c you give to your teachers and if ever you got an A or F it doesent make you a good or bad person. just learn how to believe in your self put trust in whatever you do as you flop your wings and make a difference in your life. just follow where your heart decide where you should be because you will excel in doing what you love and you will find your true happiness there...

Answer 7

Buy the book, The Purpose Driven Life and the Journal that goes along with it. Wished I had the opportunity to read this book when I was your age it would have made all the difference. Good Luck and God Bless

Answer 8

Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to
events and circumstances in one's life. Hope
implies a certain amount of perseverance i.e.
believing that a positive outcome is possible even
when there is some evidence to the contrary.

A person who dreads of 'what tomorrow may bring'
looses the zeal of life itself. He can not live in
the present even for one day. I do not agree that
'any person can fight the battles of just one
day'. There are many in the world who fight their
battles life long, and still live with some hope.

It is nice to live for today and complete what is
to be done today. But humans are distinguished
from the rest of the living beings by hope. For
other living beings, there may not be tomorrow.
But hope is life for humans. Tomorrow may not come
for a few. But the others are sure that there will
be a day after present one. And it is hoped by
many to be a little better than today. What is not
realized today may be within our reach tomorrow.
It is hope that make people to live through all
torments of life. The moment a person loses hope,
the very zeal to live is lost.

Living in the past is dreaming. Living in the
present intuition connected basic instincts.
Living in hope of is humanistic rationality
to look for future.

Hope - Pandora brought the jar with the evils and
opened it. It was the gods` gift to man, on the
outside a beautiful, enticing gift, called the
"lucky jar." Then all the evils, those lively,
winged beings, flew out of it. Since that time,
they roam around and do harm to men by day and
night. One single evil had not yet slipped out of
the jar. As Zeus had wished, Pandora slammed the
top down and it remained inside. So now man has
the lucky jar in his house forever and thinks the
world of the treasure. It is at his service; he
reaches for it when he fancies it. For he does not
know that the jar which Pandora brought was the
jar of evils, and he takes the remaining evil for
the greatest worldly good - it is hope! For Zeus
did not want man to throw his life away, no matter
how much the other evils might torment him, but
rather to go on letting himself be tormented anew.
To that end, he gives man hope.

"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life
are something to do, something to love, and
something to hope for." - Joseph Addison

Hope! Hope! Hope!
Delicious Hope! when naught to man it left - -
Of fortune destitute, of friends bereft;
When even his dog deserts him, and his goat
With tranquil disaffection chews his coat
While yet it hangs upon his back; then thou,
The star far-flaming on thine angel brow,
Descendest, radiant, from the skies to hint
The promise of a clerkship in the Mint.

People sow seeds with hope
And hope is the seed of life
People through ages hoped for eternity
Because hope is as great as eternity
Never give-up hope, never ever
Hope is your best mate, all the time
Even if all desert you unexpectedly
Hope will be with you, if you wish....
