I don’t believe the question is silly at all. In fact it is where everyone who wants spiritual liberation must begin. To even ponder the question means that you have already started your journey. Both Matt and shivang gave wonderful answers to your question, now I’ll add a little of my own.

First I’m here to tell you that you are a 100% complete person all by yourself and that you already have everything within you to give yourself the life you want. This ultimately means that you should move towards ideals that complement you as a person not ones that try to complete you. To do this you must get know yourself by looking inside like shivang said.

Second know that there are many paths to liberation and that the only right path is the one that helps you unleash your true inner self.

Finally remember to be kind to the self of your past, present, and future because they all help you on your journey.

Be strong: body, mind, and spirit

Hi Carl

I’ve felt the same for a very long time, and while it isn’t going to be easy you can find your path. I was able to change my life and if you need someone who’s been there before to listen then I’m here for you. Above all else be kind to yourself and stay strong.
