Maybe you just haven't found what you LOVE yet. Or maybe you are like me...love everything and you want to be something different every week.

Maybe you're trying too hard. Maybe there is nothing to figure out. Can you accept your life for what it is now? Can you be okay with not having a plan, or having all the answers? John Lennon said, "life is what happens to you while you're busy making plans." Some of us think we have it all figured out, but nobody does. But if you learn to love the questions, you won't need the answers anymore.

Life is a journey. Sometimes you put a lot of effort into something and gain nothing, sometimes you can discover your greater talent completely by accident. There are millions of possibilities for you and finding something what would you like to do with your life may be pretty challenging! Just try different things and talk with many people. Enjoy your journey - learning about yourself can be a reward itself!

Maybe it's because you aren't trying enough new things. Put yourself out there and experience as much as you can. Eventually you will find something you are passionate about and it will just stick with you.

Because being human means that sometimes we don't have all the answers, for instance many people who feel frustrated have trouble explaining why they feel what they feel... not having all the answers is part of life...

There is nothing wrong with not being able to figure out what to do with your life. Many people of many different ages and situations are still trying to figure out their lives too! Know that any choice does not have to be permanent if you don't want it to.

It is okay not to know what to do with your life. There will be stagnant periods in your life where you don't really know where it is going, and that's alright. Moments like these are perfect for small little breaks where you think about what type of things make you happy. If you consider all the things that make you happy, you can begin to figure out what you might want to do with your life.

Figuring out what to do with your life is a really tough task. It can take years of trying different things (jobs, relationships, locations) to figure out what you want or don't want. It's not supposed to be easy! Focus on things that make you happy and will have an impact on the world and people's lives.

Life is so hard to figure out and it's terrible that our society demands everyone to immediately know what their purpose is with minimal trial and error. Don't feel ashamed to have to try things out before fully committing to it. Plenty of people do. If you talk to older people, you'll find that a lot of them studied one subject in school and then found themselves working in a completely unrelated field.

It is absolutely normal, you did not find your purpose yet, but you have to be strong enough to know your purpose because there is no one who was born on this earth was born without a purpose.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
