Are you waiting for something in life to make yourself complete?

[69Muscle]

Do you feel your life is complete? Are you waiting for something to change your life around and give it meaning? Are you hoping falling in love, winning the lottery, having kids will complete your life? This is more then the basic what is the purpose of life thread.
Do you find yourself making it though life waiting for your big break? Thinking that you only have to work for a little while longer and hopefully get a break somewhere in life? Or have you accepted that you will work until you can no longer can, maybe have kids and die?

I'll be truthful, I am. I don't know what it is, but life for me is boring right now. I'm 25, a Network Administrator and pretty much bored with what life has to offer me. Some say life is what you make of it. Maybe it's the point that I don't know what I want in life so I convinced myself that I'm waiting for something. But my routine I call life is boring for me right now. Apparently I'm under a delusion that life owes me something, and I hate that. I'm not happy about not being happy with life. This isn't depression, I don't believe in depression. When I was a kid I was just taught that life is exciting..... But my parents also told me there was a god so I should of learned my lesson.
I doubt this thread will get much response since it's been proved that intellegent and thoughtout threads die in the water.

If you think you're happy with life tell me why? Most of society doesn't think this way. Humans love the routine and they call it life, then again the majority of the population live a sheltered life and aren't open to new ideas. Without sounding like an egotistical prick right now I basically am under the belief that I think way too much about life and the faults of people to be happy. I don't like how people think, I don't like the judgements they make and I don't like their belief system.

No, I do not feel complete, there is one way I would be, but its not going to happen so I will have to find something else I guess

shouldn't completeness come from within and not some external source? there is something missing from my life but I don't know what it is. Actually I wouldn't mind not suffering from depression anymore, that would make me more complete. Or if I was more adept at pleasureing myself with my left hand, now that would complete me.

right now life is pretty much complete,i mean sure i could have better cash flow but money isnt everything,but the things that are going good for me are: a relationship with a beautiful girl who im madly in love with,now that i am in the reserves i will have a bit of experience as to what my reg force career will be,i have a oppourtunity to goto bosnia next year on a peace keeping mission,and ive pretty much figured out what i want in life

I think this is one of those "contentment is actually found in the search for contentment" threads. Problem is, to truly experience happiness, we have to deal with some misery as well.

If you're waiting for some light to shine from the sky to make you feel content, you'll be waiting a long time. Happiness, meaning, completeness, etc.., whatever you want to call it, has to be actively sought out, emotionally as well as physically. It's all in the ride.

Good thoughts. I see I'm not the only one that doesn't feel like they know what they want to do. The search for happiness is a long road, some have a calling some stumble on it.

If you know what you want in life, what happens when you can no longer do it? Will doing more stuff when your younger make you feel older since you're no longer able to do it? Are you so passionate about your life that you would die to protect your way of life? Are you dedicated enough?

i think about this at times myself and i believe that my incomplete feelings are ones that i brought apon myself. i too have no idea what i want to do in life, and if i let my mind continplate on that thought then at times i do fall into a state of depression. i'm 23 and i feel that i let time get the better of me. i tend not to dwel on this as i am in a wonderful relationship with a girl that i have been with since 7th grade, and she gives me reason to believe that i will fall into my own. and since she believes i believe. however your avatar makes me feel alittle more complete/lol

I'm not exactly happy with life right now but that's my fault. I'm doing what I think is right though to make my future better and brighter.

I think when you are happy with yourself you
are happy with life..
