After I grad from college, I started my first job and it lasted for 6 yrs. To me its juz to gain some experience. If possible, I might stay on till I retired. However, I did not. Moving on, I was not sure what I wanted to be in my life. Wat I wanted. Where is my path? My friends seems doing great except me. Been feeling lost.. for a long time. Anyone can advise me? HI all,

I think that being on both ends of the spectrum of being "happy and steadfast" and "lost and confused" is crucial to fulfilling our divine purpose. If you go through your life never feeling a sense of loss or offbeat, how would you know when things are right or on beat when it hits you? Awesome posts!

Don't be afraid to go out for support. I say go find some friends, but I perfer going to some christian church (even if you're not religious), and have that feeling of closeness to people and having a social circle whom cares about you and will love you for what you are going through, even if you are a total stranger. Don't be afraid, go out and try it! I share your pain but cant really relate because I"m 21 and I have never been in a relationship nor dated but yet I know it's alot on your burden.

I am in the health care field and love what I do, however, my life has changed - from a married women to now a confused, divorced, single mom - what did I do? It's hard to get over the guilt and it keeps me from moving forward. I know I cannot go backward due to not feeling loved. Another man pulled me away from my 23 year marriage and I really look at him as my savior, for myself only. I love my family, my former husband included, however, wasn't loved the right way by him. This new man is still in the picture, but no future plan, that is what bothers me. I need structure and at least some kind of plan. Feel lost. I'm 47 years old, 4 sons, newly divorced.

I have the clearest perspective and all the details ready to go. As soon as I hit a bump in the path it feels like I fall 20 feet down. Sometimes I feel like I cant crawl back up that my dreams werent coming true. Im 25 and have 2 children, and I still have this dream of owning a business. In my heart and mind this is what I want so bad it kills that It can't happen sooner( Or can It?) Most of the time I think im afraid of the next step in life not really knowing where it will leave me. But when I step out of my box regardless if I fall, jump or land on two feet I am excited that made the attempt. There are moments in my life were I feel that I have figured everything out.

I regret it. I wish I would have stuck to my original plan. It would have been more boring, but I'd be waaaay, more employable, make a boatload more money, and some people would even be supportive.

That's where I'm at..great job, wonderful partner and a loving family...often it's one element particulary where you think it is OK or great, but something points out that it is not OK. I'm going through this at age 46 despite early career success. It is scary, it's unsettling but I know that I will come through one way or another. It's true, no one promised me a rose garden, but I have the tools to make one. Even if you figure life out, there will be times when you question yourself…into your 40's and 50's.

I went to uni and have come out and do not know what I want to do. Years ago I felt very succure and settled, and now Im just going from job to job cause I dont know what I wanna do. Im just going through the motions and doing as much as I can. at least when your young you can do this and find yourself. I know some people that are 50 and have just found out what they want to do. The most interesting people dont know what they wanna do, hence trying different things and getting new experiences. I think everyone goes through it..... Hi John,
