Long article, but well worth the read. And get past the first part, cuz it's not all Businessman "mumbo jumbo." I'm dealing with the same thing right now man... But I'm on the upswing. Be patient. Pray, if you do that type of thing or spend time in silence, meditating or reflecting on the purpose of your life. Don't think about what your skills are, think about what you love. You could always acquire those skills once you find purpose.

Your skills just may not have come to you yet. They don't just pop out at you, you need to try things out and one of them will eventually stick and you'll realized it's what you love doing. Relax and think about something else. Maybe an idea will come to you and when you try it, you may love it. Don't worry. =]

hey! don't worry, everyone goes through stages like this! i did too. but you defenitly do hahve something. you just haven't found it yet. try signing up for lots of clubs at your school, especially ones that you never thought you'd be interested in. Or sign up for a sport youve never played before. Trust me, everyone has something that they're amazing at! right now, you may not think you do, but trust me, you just haven't found it yet!
good luck!
hope i helped!
xoxoxo

A lot of people are born with amazing skills but don't know it until they try it. And other people get good at things after practicing a while. You might not have found that special skill yet. Or you might not have practiced enough to get good at it. So take some time to practice something for a while; something you've always wished you could do. Then if you enjoy doing it, keep practicing and you'll most likely end up a master at it. Hope I helped.

im not trying to make you feel worse, but im really good at english, and im in a band..BUT, Just like you, i have NO idea wheere my life is heading.


i cant make decisions. i cant see what ill be doing in ten years.

im only 17, om not sure if youre younger than me or older.
at least youve realised that you feel your struggling, thats the first step, the next step is to take further action.


you really need to think about what you LIKE TO DO. not what you cant do..believe me, everyone IS good at something, if its singing, writing,multiplication, philosopy or magic tricks (which is still cool ), what im trying to say is, dont put your self down, because everyone has a tallent. maybe with you, itd just a matter of finding out what it is.

try experimenting with different things.

if any if these interest you, why not try them out? or think about them... :

cooking/ creating recipies?
drawing?
photography?
computers?
child care?
psychology?
designing clothes, making clothes?
making music?
painting?
healthcare/beauty?
reatil?
management of some kimd?
promoter?


im sorry the chices are a bit crap, but maybe a certain category interests you.

im a creative person which includes all art forms, so i love to take photos, i study films, create music, and write. i like to use my imagination alot too.

you may be a logical person (unlike myself), which is towards the sciences/maths areas. there are all types of sciences:forenzic science, psychology, even domestic science is studied!


you could be a manual person, who likes to create and build phyisical things and structures.

maybe you are none of these. do not fret.
there are millions of carrers out there..i just wish they were all simply listed. but in this world, as you will learn you have to do everyhitng yourself.
you are not alone.

if you have a carers adviser at school, speak to them. have you spoken to your parents/guardian, or any other family member? theyd be happy to help- as would your friends :)
speak to some experienced people, i.e people who are in fulltime/part time carrers. ask them what choices they made. if they enjoy their jobs..what their past carrers were( if they had them), and how they came to decide what they wanted to be.

i wish you the best of luck, and i hope this helps you somehow :)

heya answered Monday February 26 2007, 5:20 pm:
Wow..ive totally been in your position before. You are good at something..you might have not found it yet. You need to get out there and try new things. But you dont need to put so much pressure on yourself to find something that you are just great at. You might not be the greatest at it at first but maybe with some practice you will be. Dont compare to someone else either..thats the worst thing to do. It messes with your mind. Just find something that you like..and are happy with. Everyone has a niche..you just havent found it yet. Good luck!

advicefashionista answered Monday February 26 2007, 5:15 pm:
Oh god, I HATE that feeling! Have you tried singing-chorus? I mean, at my school lots of people are in it (don't worry it really isn't geeky), but you really don't have to be a good singer to do it. Or do you like any sports? Or art club? Or yearbook committee?
I'm sure your good at something, you just gotta search for it. You know, you don't have to do an afterschool activity to be good at something. I don't do any of them except chorus, but at home I do lots of things like writing songs, and dancing. Also, having a "thing" could be something like, reading, doing make up, dancing, playing video games,taking care of pets, skateboarding, acting, designing, or even eating! If you want to find out what you would be good at for a career in the future, you can try this quiz:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Also, seventeen.com has many more quizzes!
Don't worry, everyone finds out who they are at some point, you'll find your thing! Have your friends tell you what your good at, or just search on the internet for quizzes to find out what your talent is.
BEST OF LUCK:) hope I helped!

Aww girl everyone has a talent you just need to find it! Believe me on this. Try signing up for a sport or what you really want out of life?? maybe write down everything positive about yourself like the stuff you have achieved. Try to be optimistic. You do have something even I thought I didnt until I actually did something about it. So have some high energy and go do something about your life!

Just search around for the thing that you like to do best. Then once you found that try to find something that envolves what you found and go from there.
