Something that was life changing for me was realizing, no matter what im doing, who i am with, how hard the task is, how annoyed im getting, how impatient i am, how much im overthinking, or on the flip side, no matter how much of a good time im having, time is still ticking and ticking away, and that time ticking is your life…., i know that sounds scary.

But look at it this way. What i am doing now, is trying to enjoy EVERY moment for what it is, and being totally present at the same time. Yeah some moments will bother you, some may piss you off, some may make you sad, but being present in every moment and accepting your current emotions as they are is what life is all about. And yes on top of that we all need goals, ambitions, a schedule. But if you can just totally be present with your current task, rather than being overwhelmed and thinking about your next 5 tasks before you finished that one, or being at work and being miserable wishing you were home, just enjoy work for what it is since its apart of your current life. (Just examples obv work may not wven be a problem for you)

I hope all this makes sense. And trust me its easier said than done, a basic rule of thumb is the less you think about the past and future and just focus on your current moment, and making your current moment as best as it can be, it will be life changing. One last rule of thumb is THINK less and DO more.

My biggest advice to start out, is to get a job and stick with it. I say this because people who are lost and confused and have no motivation, need routine, need to be disciplined. Not only will you start making money (even if its not a high paying job) but you will be moving, getting up and moving, especially in a routine , will be your basis of having motivation. The job you have doesn’t have to be your dream job, you can still figure that out while you are working your current job. For instance i am a master service tech and small engine shop, but it is something i do not want to be doing in next 5 years hell even 2 years 😅and im 28 not much younger than you. Only difference is i have a job and you dont (not in a negative or judgey way) just saying that its the only difference between me and you, two people not really knowing what their dream jobs are, and when you have a job even if its not what you want to do your whole life, you can eventually afford your own place, or afford to go out and meet new people and make friends, just having a job a sticking with it, is the basis of fixing your situation. I know its a lot easier said than done but its the way you have to start!
