Hello friends, I feel like I missing something in my life and I don’t know what it is/ they are.

I spend most of my free time feeling like I missing something, but the problem is no matter how hard I try to figure out I still could not find it ? The feel can be described as “wanting something so much, but don’t know what that something is ” maybe ?

Does any one have any ideas , what should I do ?

Dear Paul,

I can relate to that feeling of longing for something. Everyday life does not always give enough of meaning of purpose so we need to search to know what we are looking for! 🙂

Do you have close friends you can talk to? I mean really talk. How about your love life, any meaningful relationship? Do you study or go to work – or not – and how does it make you feel? Do you have any hobbies or interests that you find fulfilling? Just some questions that may give you an idea what is missing.

Hi Paul,

You could join others in their search for meaning. Religious and spiritual groups often have several missions going on in helping the community and each other. Even getting involved in your local community center or an event in town can be a start.

Blessings,

Inky

Hi Paul, I had that missing feeling, like there’s SOOOO much more to this.

How satisfied are you in your job? What are your goals in life?

I quit corporate life to pursue my calling, followed my passion. That gave my life meaning. I began the move by asking myself, “how can i use my unique gifts and talents to help others?”

I recommend reading, Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

Hope this helps.

It’s a complex journey this life we lead. You have to ask more questions to find as many answers as possible. And questions and answers can change. Sit down by yourself and ask yourself the basics and build on them. Talking to people does help. Helps us understand it a bit more when you hear from another perspective or perception. But it’s not a quick and easy process.

To find out what you have missing in your life first like and list what you do have in your life. Then work out what you do want, what you don’t want..

We share the same name and the same feeling of missing something. Just feels like life is simply a bunch of activities that don’t really add up to anything.

I have been feeling better as of late. I started a new project, one that I have been thinking about for a long time, and have become somewhat involved in it. Perhaps you have something that has been lurking in the back of your mind that you want to do; volunteer, meet new people, create something? For me it was building a website, for you it may be building a birdhouse, I don’t know. The important thing, in my view, is to try something new. If you like it, keep doing it. If not, try something else.
