Hey all.

There is said in program that one of the keys to healthy selfesteem, getting of depression, etc is to create a purposeful life for yourself.

After facing a lot of my limitations ( today I was spproved to be back at the last year of college, and start my master degree - yeach!), I noticed that I really feel lack of it.

Maybe somebody can say how he/she found his/hers life purpose? I feel a lot of my problems with anxiety and depression are career realated. I was studying something I didn`t really like. And now I catched myself that I`m trying to get into a career that I also don`t like too much ( thinking that it will be a step to other career that I REALLY would like to do ). And a career that I would REALLY like to do seems to be so much out of my reach. And even if it is - I`m afraid that if I won`t be good enough to do it, that will be a fail of my deepest dream :/.

Anybody had a similar thoughts?

Anybody here started something completely new in your life, which was your dream, after avoiding it?

I would really like to listen to your insights. This is a really grave topic for me!

Hi Mat 26

I havent started a new job , but I am doing something that I never thought I would do before.

I was asked to lead a group at my church and at first I was a little , more like really scared to do it , but I new that if I didnt it would be something I would regret not doing . I was afraid I wouldnt be good enough. Well I did it and its going well . The thing is if I hadnt tried it I would have regreted it .

So what Im saying here is you have nothing to lose in trying , if you try and give it your best thats all you can do . If things dont work out you will know that you tried. But if you let fear hold you back then you will never know if it was what you were ment to do .

I think if we give it our all and in the end it doesnt work out then it wasnt ment to be , thats just my beleif , you may have your own.

If its something you really dont want to be doing then maybe its not for you , I know I have a hard time giving 100 % to anything I dont believe in.

All the Best in what ever you decide.
