Hey There, I have to say that this all makes allot of sense… in fact, it makes way more sense than allot of the new age – jargon oh what do really want to do with your life type of stuff ! I am in a pickle whereby I lack energy and am really confused about which direction to take in life because I have so many options… but the way you have helped to put things back in context will really help. I mean for instance, I am pro – environment, but I have found that hanging out with pro – environment people has just made me depressed, what’s up with that ?!! Today I will strive to live simply and without thinking about all of the selfish / rad things I should be doing.

Very nice to read, and not unrealistic or ridiculous! I’m 25 and you hear all the time, “oh my kid XYZ is just trying to find themself.” Reply from a relative or friend, “STILL?”

Life is not a picnic for everyone and sometimes I think it enjoys playing with some of us, like, reeeeally playing with some of us. I keep trying but I’m to the point of stopping arguing with myself to force myself to do this, and do that, just because friends my age are. I’m not them, I apparently can’t be them. Just let it roll, baby roll! And have a sense of humor. Without it, I don’t know where I would be.

I agree and disagree. i agree that no one thing in particular is capable of producing happiness. happiness is first and foremost a state of mind. However, having said that, its natural to have desires in life. and if you desire something, you may as well try to get it. theres no reason not to. if the pursuit of your desire isnt somewhat fun( sometimes when something is difficult we assume it also cant be fun) then it isnt youy “passion or purpose” or whatever. for example, chasing my goals is pretty outlandish and difficult, but knowing im trying and becoming the best i can be, as well using my one life to attain what i desire is very rewarding and fun.

I think all what you have to do is to have a dream beyond your interest, your dream should include other people too , when your dream is just self centered , you won’t have the enough potential for it , and it won’t feel the real happiness if you achieved it.
we should dream about making the world a better place to live in , and make the earth a wonderful and peaceful place for living. and that’s the purpose of our creating according to the Islamic principles.

It was really refreshing reading this Annabel. Having struggled a bit with this over the past year and finally coming to a similar understanding I think you’ve got a great perspective. There’s soooooo much focus on finding your passion, and the one thing that makes you happy, but really I think people can be happy doing almost anything. Victor Frankl rings a bell… Anyways, nice post!

What an incredible post. THIS is the kind of stuff that people need to be reading, particularly the last three points. I think it’s particularly easy to get caught in that trap–the one where we imagine our one true love, or our one passion, or the happily ever after myth–because it’s just so clean cut and appealing. It’s romantic. And we love a good romance.

But the truth is that there are almost 7 billion people on earth, there are a multitude of careers, hobbies and activities that will pique our interests, and there are MANY paths that our lives could take.

Once we’re open to the idea that possibility is not intimidating, but rather an asset, it’ll be far easier to allow ourselves to embrace it in any way that we can.

Just loved this post, Annabel. GREAT WORK.

I think do what you are doing don’t pressurize yourself and just flow with the river. Great article indeed.
