Do you sometimes ask - what do you want in life? -

In our everyday living, we cannot sometimes deny that we ask our self what we relly want in life. What we want to happen and what we would like to achieve. Even we have and got almost what we want, still, there is no satisfaction. And that, we ask for more. That we feel, we need to work. That we need to stay away and work far away from our family. Then if we feel tired, we try to relax and ask our selves, what we really want. How about you, do you sometimes ask that to your self? That you sometimes ask - what do you really want?

yah, as for my situation i became a stay in in my work but it was ownded by our relatives. i just wake up, work sleep. then another day just repeats for six days i do go home once a week in my hometown. but i don't know what was changed every time i go home to my hometown recently, i feel like there's a bad luck or like something that pushes me away, but when i'm at work, i enjoy my work but as it goes on and on, i feel like something is missing, or someone i don't know, so i began to ask my self what do i really want??

Yes, almost every single day. I try to figure out what I truly want, but I can never seem to find the answer to it. I mean, sure I want little things like this and that, but like you said, once I get it, it doesn't make me happy for too long. I don't feel that satisfied. I feel like I just want more things on top of more things. That's why I think about what I really want and something that I can truly feel satisfied with without having to keep thinking about what else I think I will be happy with. I think I feel the need to work as well, but not necessarily far away from my family. I would still like to be near my family to make sure that they're okay but I would also like to take some time off to get away for a while so that I can clear up my own thoughts first and straighten things out. When I get tired, I try to relax and in that relaxed moment, I start thinking about many many things, and like you said, about what we really want in life. There just doesn't seem like there's anything that can satisfy me enough and keep me satisfied because I feel like I get disappointed easily when things don't turn out the way that I thought it would and so my satisfaction level lowers. Then I continued to try to find something else that makes me happy, at least for a little while before moving on to the next. I feel like I'm jumping around in what I want because I can never find that one thing that I feel like I could be truly happy if I had. I ask this question a lot when I'm alone, and I have yet to find the answer to it.

hi if you ask me this... i would say, I want my family. that's the only thing I want in life. Nothing is worth than a family of your own. they keep you warm and they will be there when you need them. They share and they give... i dont think you can find like this out there beside your own family

I always ask myself that question and I always end up with one answer - that is to be with my husband. Of course aside from that, I also want to write a novel someday... just for my self fulfillment and not really for public consumption because I am not sure if the people will like what I write.
