They say that - there is this lowest point where I put no effort in accomplishing something. I shouldn't be surprised it I don't achieve it. Then there is the highest point - where I put all my heart into living the dream. But I still don't get anything in return... should I give up or stay positive and keep working hard? I'm just tired and confused.

*Shrugging my furry shoulders* If you made a promise or commitment to others then you should at least fullfill your promise. Of course if that is a lifetime thing lol well perhaps that should be re-thought.\n\nIf it was only with yourself, follow your heart, you are capable of deciding what is best for you...

Don't worry. Calm down. There's still time for you to practice now. Practice in front of a mirror if you don't have someone to sing to. This could get you use to singing in front of a crowd. remember never ever give up when you're aftering your dreams. Never be afraid to step and challenge yourself to achieve something you want. You can do it!\n\nGod Almighty hates a quitter.\nSamuel Fesseden, 1847-1908, American lawyer, politician\n\nIt matters if you just don't give up.\nStephen Hawking 1942- , British theoretical physicist\n\nI am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards.\nAbraham Lincoln, 1809-1865, 16th president of USA\n\nIt's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believe in myself.\nMuhammad Ali, 1942- , American boxer\n\nNever give in! Never give in! Never, never, never, never -- in nothing great or small, large or petty. Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.\nWinston Churchill, 1874-1965, British stateman, Prime minister

If you continue to use precious time living up to someone else's expectations, you will not be happy that you were true them instead of being true to yourself.\n\nYou may find yourself having to (gently) take a stand for making a decision to strive for your own goals.  Folk may get upset and tell you that you're making a mistake.\n\nLet 'em.\n\nBe true to yourself now!

Very poetic, but a true dismal failure is what you are aiming for in life...\n\nI believe that you need counceling so that you will not have a pessimistic view at life. \n\nFind your strenghts and work to build them up, and locate your weaknesses and work on them to help you understand why you have a desire to "fail"!!\n\nUntil you can set yourself 'free', you will always feel "dumped on" and moody.  But if you get the right woman, who will love you, then it will bolster your spirits up, and help you a lot.  \n\nI wish you well...\n\nJesse

Work. And as you work, and work hard, visualize for at least 10 minutes every day the END RESULT of what you want with as much feeling and detail, have faith it is a DONE deal...meaning not something that WILL happen, but something that has ALREADY happend, and try to have a feeling of expectancy about the issue of your desire. If you don't know what to work at or visualize, got to the alpha state (CDs you can listen to are available or you can dowload MP3 files to help you get to that state), and ask yourself what would the best profitable business idea for you to venture into be. keep at it for at least 10 days if you don't get immediate results, and most likely you will get your answer as a flash of insight or in a dream...but needless to say, you will get an answer as long as you have faith in the process.

Do what you love & the happiness & money will follow. \n\nIt's absolutely true ~ I'm living proof.\n\nFirst, find the thing you love to do which makes you deeply happy & satisfied. It doesn't matter whether you're good at it or not, don't let fear stand in your way. \n\nKeep in mind that what you give to the universe comes back to you, multiplied, so give the good stuff, please!\n\nSecond, pursue this "thing" with all of your energy - you'll know you're on the right track when you find yourself thinking about your "thing" before you fall asleep, when you awake, while you're in the shower, while you're doing day-to-day things.\n\nThat's your heart talking ~ follow where it leads!

That 'magical' feeling we all get only seems to be there when we can't get that special person.  He has been honest with you and said from the beginning that he doesn't want anything serious, so it's all down to you and whether you would be able to put up with what he has to offer. It's easy to give in and see him to get that magical feeling but is the high worth the massive low you could also get. You could be lucky and end up winning his heart but in my experience it rarely happens like that. I wish you so much luck because I know it's a horrible situation to be in.

All the previous post-ers have good points, do consider their advice thoroughly.\nDoubt the world and the motives of those who occupy it, but not the Creator.\nThere's an old expression that says the Lord gives you no more trials than he knows you can handle. To this - I myself have said "Gee I wish he didn't trust me so much."\nAlso there are theories on the trials and tribulations of our lives being things we chose for this life before we were born, all in a desire to experience the life in it's many facets. I also sometimes have a problem with that idea, because there are a number of things in my life that I think "there's no WAY I could have chosen to experience that". But when I'm in a more reflective mood, I realize the events in my life, both joyous and tragic, have shaped me and what I've become. And what's more I am proud of myself, that I haven't let the trials beat me down, and that I don't go around blaming others for what could be considered misfortune.\n\nLife can turn completely around in a moment's notice, you never, ever know what difference one choice can make. Doors of opportunity open and close all around you. Let go of your frustration, it's a grief we've all had at some point. Spend time meditating and searching out what new path is coming up in your life.\nAnd most importantly take a moment to be thankful for all the things you DO have, as it seems there are some significant ones.\n\nDeep breath, blow it out, re-center yourself, and things will be better I promise.

You need Jesus Christ in your life in the worst way.  All of us go through hard times--- the Lord knows that I been through my share.  God allows adversity into a person's life in order for them to develop character and spiritual strength.  My suggestion to you is that you do not give up.  there is never success in giving up.  Suicide is never the answer---it is the ultimate expression of failure.  God loves you and he has a plan for you.  Pray----spend your spare time praying.  God answers all prayers in his time according to when he feels that you are ready.  Do not concentrate on the future, but live each day as it comes.  Go to your job every day and do your best for your employer.  Find the joy in the work that you use to have---you might be pleasantly surprised at what changes might come your way.  Ask for extra hours at work----volunteer to do anything that is available no matter how distasteful or demeaning it may seem.  Some of the best promotions that I have received we because I took jobs that nobody else wanted and did them better than anybody before me had done them.  And do not worry----worry is your biggest enemy because it distracts you from the love of God.  Have faith in God to see you through this.  Jesus said, ...."without me ye can do nothing."  Do not try to go it alone----you will never succeed by your own efforts.  Jesus loves you and he wants you to be successful in life.

Perhaps not.......but that is what life is about. Constantly reaching for that next level. I reach a level and metaphorically, plateau, just as I would having climbed a mountain. I reached that peak so I enjoy the view for a while. I pat myself on the back and take pride in my accomplishments. But after a while, in order to fulfill my need for accomplishment, I set a new goal......a higher plateau. So the climb begins again.\n\nGod made Adam......he was very proud of his accomplishment. But did he stop there? Nooooo.....he improved his plan and made woman. He strived to reach another goal. Ok so silly Eve ate the apple and yada yada yada.........but God didn't just desert the concept of the world because of one mistake. (Man......i so can't believe I used this because I'm not a religious person !) But my point is........if God can keep pressing to create improvements, isn't it ok for man to keep redefining himself? For man to continue learning? Adjusting? Improving? Failing only to pick up and try again.......\n\nWe actually have no defintion for what IS the BEST........because we are constantly striving to get there. So we'll keep plugging.....we'll keep setting goals.......we'll plateau here and there......we'll even fall now and again. But we are making use of what we have been given......and for those of us that are not......they chose their path to merely exist in the valley. :)

i think that too many people hesitate when it comes to doing what they really want to. they fear failure. but i think you should take the chance.if you dont,your just prolonging the agony and will question your decision not too for the rest of your life. do it.

Well, most people think they are born to do something and succeed and help mankind somehow. Its not like majority of people start off young thinking I am going to be a nobody. It would be great if you could reach the goal you have set for yourself though. I am a little confused with the line you have..."but I feel that I was born once". If thats what you think you were called to do though, then go after it. It is never too late to live your dream.
