to make a cool sound. I like it when it sounds really loud. Sometimes I get a whole bunch of bibles together and set them up like a set of drums and thump them really fast whyle using a hammer as drumsticks. Its really FUN.

Interesting question...\nWe all feel that we should achieve something in our lives, but it is not an idea we were born with.\n\nLook at the people around you, they are going nowhere. We are all doing what we can, but we aren't going anywhere. \n\nEverything is just what it is & we should join an activity because we want to join in, not because we think we will achieve anything.\n\nIn saying that, how can anyone be happy if they only work to achieve? \n\nThis is the message I recieve from Christains that they are working to achieve a place in heaven and one has to wonder if they are truely happy. Seems kind of selfish to me.

Why is this question in the religion/spirituality section? I'm guessing you must want a bible-thumper. In that case, go to Church on Sunday. Look around. You'll find someone.

Setting a goal that lies just beyond my reach, working on it, and finally achieving it.\n\nLike being finally able to do exercise 5 in Czerny's book of piano exercises with the metronome set at 100.

Live Life, Love, and be Happy.  I found my success and happiness through Jesus.  Maybe you will too.  My lifes direction is answered in prayer.  When I feel confused or uncertain I ask the Lord for guidance, there is always an answer, though sometimes it may not be easy, there is always a way to acheive my goals. \nBefore I asked Jesus into my heart my life was a MESS; I was broke, miserable, and lonely.  Now I own my own business, met (and married) the love of my life, and now get to do something I once only "dreamed of" doing,..to travel extensively.

Being a Christian I strive to do just that. It's not easy. I think you become a hypocrite if you are not trying to love everyone on earth. I choose to try to act in a loving way toward all that I come into contact with. I often fall short of that. But I keep on trying.

You would have to do what you think is best.  What do you think God is telling you to do.

I don't understand how as a "Christian" you cannot find fulfillment in learning , growing and applying the teachings of Christ. For starters since you seem to  have enough time to get bored I'm sure you can find the time to spread and maintain His Kingdom. Serving others may yield the blessings you may be expecting. Sorry for the preachiness.

i ask myself that everyday....i know I'm not doing everything God would have me to do...i still fall short according to the bible...but i think he may be somewhat pleased that I'm trying and pushing and getting to a point where I'm letting go of weights that hold me back....you want to know that you are pleasing God.

I am trying to be a better person.  Also, I am looking to make a difference in the world by teaching children~I want to be remembered as someone who was nice, loved everyone and who was well liked by people around me.  Currently, I am trying to start a family with my wonderful husband.

Many seek to do this in there own strength and usually have little or anything to show for it. If you are serious you first need to know that you can't do it. That is alone, or in your strength, or to your glory. Many want to be better out of pride or to earn there salvation only to be disappointed. The answer is in Christ. Only He can help. It starts with a new understanding:\nRomans 12:12\n I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.\n And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.\n\nWe are transformed by having our minds renewed. When we understand we cannot add to the Work of Christ we humble ourselves before Him and stop trying to earn anything.\nWhen we begin to realize the rich free sovereign grace we have in Christ (assuming you have it) we stop trying to earn anything or to exalt ourselves and we truly seek to please God even if it means we are humbled. See what John the baptist thought of Jesus:\nJohn 3:29-31 \n He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.  He must increase, but I must decrease.  He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.\nIt all starts with a renewed mind and seeking first God and His kingdom. If you read almost any of the Letters in the NT you will see they generally start with truth (doctrine) and after explaining the marvelous work of Christ then they teach us how to be thankful. Read Ephesians for a good example.

Studay all religions. All of them. Then you can see what man has written about God, and you can see where things overlap and don't overlap, commonalities and anomalies.\n\nTake what you have learned there and compare it to your own experience. Again, look for common points. See what holds true and what doesn't hold true. Test all of it.\n\nAfter that, you're probably headed in the right direction, though certainly no guarantees on being at your goal.
