Hey bro, I'm sorry that you ae going through all of this at this time. I, myself is going through the same things right now although I am along the path, and feel that soon I will know all the answers I seek. I hope what I have to say can help you out a little bit. While I have been taking time off following my path in lfie I find that I need to reflect, look into the self mirror, and see who I was. Knowing who and what I was before this pint has allowed me to see how I have changed in the long path in my life. I can be grateful for the lessons, and trials been put into my life, and what I have learned from it. Next I take time for myself. I go away from all of my friends, and everyone else that is around me. I close the world around me out, and only allow one thing to stay within my focus. That thing is the thing I love, the craft I do. Every man has a craft they proform that gives them a sense of purpose and worhth in this world. For me that is music, poetry, and story telling. I allow these things to set in, and I wonder to myself. Who am I? What type of person am I? What makes me special to people. What are my traits, and what are my faults. What are my strengths and weaknesses. What has infulenced me so far in life. Its not really easy to this however since people, and thoughts get in the way, but if you find a place, or a time that gets you away from everything than I suggest to take it, and use it. If you need any more advice, or if you need someone to talk to just give me a call on my cell phone and leave a message. My number is 1-304-546-0220 With Love and HOpe ~Robert
You laugh at me because you fear what I am. You see that I am a link between the old and new, carrying the spirit of inspiration with me. That's okay though because I don't resent you. I wil always embrace you as family no matter what scorn I might recieve for I am the Bard.

don't get the latest cell phone, keep your old one & get the best deal there is. don't go for the V8, go for the 4 banger. Don't spend $300 when you can get it for $75. If you want to make $$, you have got to save it. it's never to hard to find a better deal on the same thing. buy yourself some property, or a small house. find out what you like, & go to the absolute top. study leadership abilities & get paid for your knowledge. buy some stocks & when they make money, buy more. buy some rentals with + income. or land to turn a few hundred k. if your love doesn't feel like an eharmony comercial, it's not good enough. if you are not blown away by sex the next day, drop it, cause it aint rockin'. there is no substitute for absolute compatibility. don't settle for second best, ever. but don't be so fat headed that you can't take advice. it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do it better than everyone else. always, always, lead, don't fallow, in business. learn how to talk to people with respect and learn how to solve problems. retire when you're young, & then restore a classic cars & harleys because you're bored. -that's good advice to a young person, I think. & if that doesn't work, draw penises like the guy in Superbad. as long as you're happy with your life, you are a huge success. no sh*t. millions aint nothin if your life sux. play until you find your niche. & then rule the f*cking world. -that's what I'm thinkin'

& if I had to do it all over again, I'd put a knife through that motherf*ckers heart before he could even say hello. f*ck it. violence is only the tip of the iceburg. domestic is the part that kills. people like us weren't born knowing that. it takes living through hell to learn it. I know what domestic violence is. so do the rest of his victims. "take 'em down"

Who you are is irrelevant to what you are going to do with your life, and it's doubtful that you can figure out who you are in a single grand sit-down. You got a whole life for this, and I hope no one is rushing you to find an answer asap. This is at least one reason to relax. If someone actually is breathing down your neck, hopefully you can keep the pressure at bay and remember that their priorities and demands have little bearing on you. It is still possible to carve some quiet time for yourself even in a stressful environment, and during that time try to shut the outer world out as much as possible. No phone calls, e-mails, face to face communication. Just you, your mind, and what's racing through it. Now find something to concentrate on besides your thoughts and emotions - any object in the room, your own breathing, sounds around you (preferably not a conversation or a soap opera on the neighbor's TV, you may catch someone else's emotions that you don't need). You don't even have to sit, walking at a steady pace can work just as well, and in this case the monotone motion is something you can concentrate on. Don't obsess about focusing, let it happen on its own, and as it's happening you will feel relaxed yet alert. If the thought or a worry appears, acknowledge it and let it go. In this state of mind you are more likely to figure out where you want to move with your life, but again, let it happen on its own, without pressing yourself for an answer. If you habitually rely on your consciousness and the will, what I described may not work at all on the first try, so you will need to repeat it. Conscience is very possessive of our minds and will shut down anything that subconscious has to offer as illogical, invalid, and downright stupid. What you want to achieve is sort of an opposite: take a passive approach, let the subconscious speak up without being afraid of judging. Oh, one more thing to remember: when you quiet your mind, pay attention to any emotionally charged assessments that still appear. They are very telling, especially the negative ones. They are the inner blocks that get in the way of seeing clearly (or whatever you want to call it that helps us to make best decisions). ~~~~~~~ CoffeeOwl  I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. ~ Author unknown ~ |

This dooesnt have to be answered right away, it seems that something is troubling you.whether it is critisizm, failure at something or pressure to be something(whatever it may be) take your time. what i would do is to try to sort things out one by one in time, what seems to be troubling u though? a little more info would help us help u. quote: Originally posted by 2infinite1:

2infinite1, you have a very good point on where he should start career/recreation-wise and when it comes to likes and dislikes. this is good advise here drake. Still, no need to hurry, we all start somewhere. quote: Originally posted by Roibeard the Bard:

its simply just not wise to give ones phone number out like this, and not wise to call numbers of strangers that give u there number online. i am not trying to be bossy, but it just is dangerous seeing that u dont know what people are capable of. not saying anyone is going to do something bad, but u never know. quote: Originally posted by 2infinite1: don't get the latest cell phone, keep your old one & get the best deal there is. don't go for the V8, go for the 4 banger.

there are other more effective, and respectful ways to go about answering that. quote: Originally posted by 2infinite1:

"take 'em down"
lets lose the violence and get back on topic. this is just uncalled for to type in any forum, again lets try nicer replies like the advice you first gave that didnt involve put downs. quote: Originally posted by CoffeeOwl:

I know how you feel. But I tell ya, I'm 35 and still have no clue. I think that sometimes we find things when we least expect them in places where we least expect to find them. Not only that, but as we get older our opinions change and what matters most to us can change. So maybe try to focus on your values (which I think don't change much) and try to find something that fits your values. If you try to find yourself and your career path and an immediate answer, it will continue to cause you stress I've found. So maybe try setting daily goals, monthly goals, yearly goals, etc. But be realistic so your not setting goals you cannot obtain. By setting short term goals and meeting them, it will also help to raise your confidence and help with stress.

I think what I said was good advice. If y'all don't like it, don't take it. & here's more advice, don't let other people's opinions f*ck you up. there's only a few people in your life that will ever really matter. everybody else is-- "fluff" be true to yourself & your loved ones. & use good manners even with the ones that you hate. because it does you no good to bring yourself to a lower level.
