right now im still wondering what do i really want with my life? i hate it when i have so many options and yet the one you need is not there. its like being on this big map with so many directions and still you dont know where to go.... i guess its not a crime not knowing your destination...

Try setting a goal for your life! It would be more meaning this way. :) For example you can start with writing down a goal setting; what do you really want in your life? Something you want to achieve? Something you want to left behind? house, cars, achievement etc etc anthing you could think of. Write all your goal setting down in a way based on these: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and tangible. Also, ask your questions like "what" are you going to do? "how" you going to do it? and "WHY", the why is very very important factor: Why do you think it's important? Why do you want to do it? Why do you believe it? etc etc you see what I meant? Don't give up yet lossforredwords. There are stil much to do in your life. Believe in yourself and believe what you CAN do. :)

I too have been that stage like what are you facing right now :) Trust me everyone needs to go tru it once in their lifetime. What you really need now is a push of a desire. you need to think ahead in time. Think of the future of you. What is the most important thing in your life? your parents? Your wife? Your children? project yourself into the far future and tell yourself NOW what you need to do in order to protect your love ones. now you will have a good goal setting :)
