is it bad not to know what you want to do with your life?

im 17 and have NO idea what i want to do with my life. i like not knowing untill the very last second sometimes. but honestly i have no idea what i will be doing after i finish high school. it sucks. all my friends are smart and are going to college and all this shit. i had this joke with my best friend saying since shes so smart she can be the vet and own her own place and ill be the friendly recepsonist and schedule stuff except the putting animals to sleep part. and if worse comes to worse...i can always fall back on that but i want to do something by myself and do something with my life that has meaning. not mooch off other peoples dreams...but i do love helping people and animals.

 

I'm almost 24 and I still don't know what I am goign to do with my life. Go with the flow, experience as much as you can...and it will happen eventually.

 

i'm almost 40 & i dunno what i wanna do withmy life other then just keep doin what i'm doin
i dunno why ppl act so much like you gotta be something..like being who you are isnt good enough..but i can tell ya sometimes being who you are is a great carreer choice if u dont really care how much ya earn
just keep doin what your doin & see where it may lead ya

 

I am 50 and still don't have a clear goal other than being happy and enjoying life as much as I can.

 

If life were about knowing, there'd be no point. The best thing to do is go with your gut feeling and play it by ear. The richest person on earth is not even as close to as wealthy as the happiest.

 

yup..you go that right

 

sometimes nothing happens with your life & thats just the way it is. the most you can do is give it your best. its different for everyone.

 

nothing wrong with having a plan though....

 

I'm 42 & I don't know which direction I'm going in.(Especially after I leave the Pub,all tanked up ).

 

It is often more important to know NOT what to do than to know what to do.

 

i think i came up with a decision. i would very much like to be a professinal glass blower...in italy or some european country. i was over my moms friend house and they are pretty well off and they bought a 1000 dollar piece of glass...it was a purple vase, thats it. the things people will buy these days...

but also it seems to be a beautiful art and you can make very nice things out of them. its seems to be peaceful and inspairation can come from many of the things around you.

 

Ah, the life of an artist, my hats off to ya. Best of luck.

 

blow me a beautiful glass pipe nothing ordinary..blow me one thats mindblowing, beautiful & unique

 

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but glass blowing can be very bad for your health...most glass blowers I know have problems with their lungs....often at a very young age.

 

well i would say it isn't you life anyone does anything with anyway. it's good to know what you enjoy doing and be doing it. that's where happiness comes from.
but you can't expect how the interacting of all the diversity of existence will be, how your encounters and experiencing of it. so it's also good not to get too hung up on expectations.

know what you like and don't expect to expect.
that's what makes the most sense to me.
sure think about what you're doing and how it might affect the world arround all of us.
that's the important thing too. but not in some kind of arbitrary sense, but rather
just in the responsible way of not causing suffering and harm.
other then that enjoy.

for a living do whatever you and your conscounse can live with;
but if you want to be happy, don't build your life arround what other people might
think of you beyond the common sense of staying reasonably out of too much trouble.

then enjoy reality's divesity for what it is, because for one thing, that's what it's going
to go on being, whatever anyone tries to make it.
