I still feel something missing?

Question

i dont know what details to put but i think that something missing in my life i dont know why?
even i am happy by what i have i am Confused anyhelp!!

Answer 1

I remember feeling this way a few years ago.

I had my career going strong, making lots of money, family, a house in the suburbs, friends, family, cars, all kinds of possessions.

So then I worked all my life to get this kind of security and well-being and once I had it there was 'something missing'.
So then I started wondering, do I need a different career, or perhaps moving to the country might be better, etc. I could not determine what was missing. After pondering this for a while I came to the conclusion that what was missing wasn't something tangible.

Then I realized, that with all my striving to reach my goals, I had forgotten something important. By focusing only on attaining goals and property, the effect was that I was running so fast, that I never took the time to just sit still and be with myself.

What was missing is that I wasn't happy, but I didn't know why I wasn't happy. I had everything. Things didn't make me happy. Why wasn't I happy? Who Am I?

That's when I slowed down with all the running and just sat down and started meditating to find out the answer to this question.

Answer 2

To give you a good answer that might help you in your confusion, it needs more details about yourself, but let me guess: You are happy with what you have, but this is not really what you are looking for because there is something missing. The answer might lay in one word: "have". You are happy with what you 'have'. But probably you are not happy what you "are" or you just don't know what you are and that's because you are confused. To get out of this confusion you need to find out what and who you are. That is called: Self-knowledge. The fact that you ask this question tells that you are beyond average people who never doubt their personality. But you want more, you need to discover who you are really, your self-image is not that secure anymore, otherwise you wouldn't be confused.
Now this can be just my interpretation... But that's all I can respond and it might not help you. Do you really expect some help from people here at 'answers'? I doubt this, as you will know already that true help will come in the first place out of yourself...

Look at what you do do, and what you don't do (and either want to or know you should) and decide where you want your life to go.

How old are you? Depending on what stage of life you're at, you might go about things in different ways i.e. don't ditch your wife and kids because you want some adventure in your life, try a new sport or more adventurous holiday, start reading philosophy or history. If you're 21, start volunteering or figure out exactly what it takes to get the job of your dreams and go out there and start the courses/make the calls to do it.

If you're feeling non-specific discontent then perhaps life is just too comfortable (mine is, so I'm not judging) and you could try going out to help less advantaged people in some way and nurture that side of you.
