confused soul Any one have a correct answer to my simple question?

In my religion and my holy scripture, God preaches to do karma i.e do your deed but surrender the results to God and do not expect anything in return. God never preaches inactivity. Infact follow your goals, fulfill your ambitions, but don't do it for yourself. Do it for God. It may sound confusing, but its very simple. you basically have to eat, sleep, work, sing, etc for God. That way you won't be responsible for the good or bad result of your work. So in your case, you should follow your dreams, i.e your karma, but you should not expect success or fame. You should do it, since you have to do it. You will get what you deserve and not what you desire. So leave the results to God. Let God give you what you deserve. So your parents are correct in telling you to achieve some goal. The saints are correct in preaching to be satisfied. The satisfaction does not mean that you should not work hard. But it means that you should be satisfied with the results good or bad. In this age called 'kaliyug', renunciation is not prescribed i.e you are not expected to leave everything and go in the forest and become a sanyasi.Lord Krishna himself has said this in Bhagvad Gita. But he has also said that one should do everything for him i.e God. This is true renunciation. But sanyasis do not take a chance and they keep their expectations to the minimum and try to stay satisfied with everything. We should do the same but the way I wrote above. Do not hanker for weath, success. But on the other hand this does not mean that one should not study or work for his living. Lord Krishna explained in Bhagvad Gita that one has to perform the duties with which he is born. For ex. if one is born as a Kshtriya, he has to fight to protect his country. He cannot change his work by becoming a Brahmana. So in kaliyug one has to study, compete, work hard but if he does not get the desired results, he should not lament. But instead he should surrender the work as well as the result to God and whatever results he gets, he should feel that God is all-knowing, he got what he deserved and not what he desired. If still some thing is unclear please feel free to ask. I will be happy if by Krishna's grace, I can remove any doubt of yours.

i think it's better if you enjoy what you get. the most important is you living in the present. don't bother the past and the future. you only have the present. you only have now.

You listen to yourself. You find out what YOU want, and then you try to achieve it. Along the way, try to be a good and helpful person. You can't please everyone, but you can try to be content with your own personal choices.

I think that your question really isn't a simple question. There are many teachings from many different areas that are at odds with one another. My answer is that you should be content with what you have, happy for the blessings you have in daily life, but you still need to have goals set for you to reach. It is not a sin to want something to better your life with. Without goals, we cannot continue to grow as human beings, and become better people.
