Sage,

I’m sorry for your continued suffering, and can understand how deep the feeling of stuckness can become. We become used to our misery, and so cling to it, wear it like a badge of honor… like a home we learn to carry with us. Perhaps when we were young, we had a difficult time being heard, seen… so we had to shout, be loud, be dramatic.

However, because of this, our mind gets used to working in extremes. We flop from best to worst, high to low. We eat a cookie, for instance, and its the best. cookie. ever. Then we smell a fart, and it’s the worst. smell. ever. To heal from this, wake up from this, we have to learn temperance.

For instance, you’re twenty six, and paint yourself as practically 30. You feel some aimlessness and paint it like “all my dreams are gone, I am broken and alone and helpless.” That drama fills up all the space that could otherwise be used to produce a path you enjoy. Said differently, its not surprising that you feel your passion is low, look at how much of it gets used by your merciless self flogging!

As far as the other questions, the suggestions I made in the other thread remain my best guess at a happy Sage future. Happy hunting!

With warmth,
Matt

Hi Sage.
There always time in your life when you feel so confuse and lost, don’t know what to do and live being worry..
feeling lost and have no passion for anything is definitely one of the worse feeling. Perhaps, you’ve been thinking about your age and feeling time is limited? I mean, its easy to say but hard to do. But 26 and turning 27 is still young 🙂
Maybe travelling might help you find your passion? Who knows? you might come across something from over sea and thought, wow that was a brilliant idea and bring the idea to your country? Or you might like helping people while you are exploring at the same time?
Maybe where you living is not a right place for you to find your passion?
Do you have any hobbies at all? What is meaningful to you? I have many passion such as drawing, decorating, sewing, singing dancing cooking and whatever else. i am just a creative dreamy butterfly… But i never wanted to turn my passion into a job, although a lot people say you should turn your passion into job.
I rather think, what is meaningful for me… and decide to take a job that is related to it.
Such as, if you’re a spiritual person believe in higher power and what not.. You can be a yoga instructor or a mediation teacher, mean while start the massage business on the side. Need a job you love at least..
If you love children and they means something to you, you can be a midwife, you can be a kinder garden teacher, baby sitter etc…
if you love music, and video editing… please practice and never stop promoting yourself… who know you might com across someone appreciate your work? Don’t ever doubt on yourself if you really love that and wan to follow, hopes create positivity and law of attraction say, anything you believe, you will make it happen.. but its important of how much you want that badly?
Being famous is not a bless, sometimes… you would have no privacy in life, popularity won’t make you feel peaceful..
Get out of your comfort zone, try something do something and take risks. Learn new things, if you keep being in denial that you are 27 and have no passion, how can you find a passion if you haven’t try it in the first place..? 🙂
So even if nothing happen, you learn.. and you know you’ve tried what you could.
you sound very bored of things the way it is, you need to get out there and explore. And don’t worry about your age, age is just a number.
At the end of the day… you did what made you happy, explore life and fulfil your experience, understand yourself more, i think that is your job, to make yourself happy.
