Answer 1

Get off your butt and get out and live. Enjoy life. Go to the park watch kids as they play their silly little games that only make sense to them. Listen to the sounds of life around you. In one blink of an eye it could all be gone. Life as we know it could be seriously altered.

Answer 2

This is natural in the mind to doubt more or less everything in life. It is normal to have doubts about things that interest your and the things that matter to you most. It is also possible however to begin to doubt too much, or too many thing at a time, to end up feeling uncomfortable with even most normal things of life. It is possible that amidst all that hustle and bustle of a busy life the natural balance between our beliefs and their corresponding doubts is somewhat temporarily disrupted.

In or life our beliefs allow us to establish our sense of belonging, to relate to people, places, things and their ideas, to feel comfortable, calm and collected, to be knowledgeable and trustworthy, and to have faith and trust in life in general. Our doubts however suggest us otherwise, as they suggest us cautions in every instance of our believing and living. Our doubts always remains at the back of our mind, normally dormant, but also often active and at work to make sure that everything is alright in our world where we really never know everything or anything fully. I believe doubts are our friends that however come to spoil our sense of peacefulness and fun have their own purpose. They are the first to invite us to investigate and look deeper into things, to see if something is not right, or if something needs to be changed or improved.

The state of mind that you, as everyone else, should be afraid of is that of perplexity, confusion, and chaos of some emptiness. They could cause complete depletion of our mental energy and leave us in a state where, let alone doubting, even straight and simple thinking could become difficult. We have seen people stuck in life, unable to make decisions, move forward or think for themselves, all these are the cases of paralysis of mind. This state however could also be induced in the mind that has too much doubts and very little in the name of knowledge and faith, when we begin to suspect everyone and question everything in life - the mind should have everything in balance for everything to work for it.

I think our doubts, very much just like our beliefs, empower the mind and then harness its powers for active questioning into things that matter to us. If you have too many doubts than there are two possible solutions: Either you welcome doubts with courage and learn to ask questions. This I know is never easy to sensitise a mind, to wake it up, for the purpose of active and systematic questioning. Then the second solutions is that you resort to you inner strength, your natural capacity to have faith in life. You might find that you already know the answers to most of the thing on your mind. Or, may be, there are things that you have always known but never realised that you did are asserting themselves in form of your doubts!  

Answer 3

Start doing something you enjoy, and even if you don't know something you enjoy try something you might enjoy. Pick up the phone and ask what time and when and just go there do it and embrace it.

Don't just look for jobs, look at courses that you may want to do to get a job you've always wanted, don't be afraid to start again just because you feel like you've gone a certain way to far down one road.

I guess what I'm saying is if you want things to change then you have to change them, that can be difficult some times but once you made a start it just get easier.

The hardest thing sometimes is to know what will make you happy, but until you experiment with a couple of things your never be any closer to finding out, never finding out scares me alot.

Answer 8

According to Shakespeare "our doubts are traitors and cause us to lose this good oft might gain by failing to attempt". I finally made the personal discovery that what really destroyed my capacity to achieve was not the temporary failures that came along, but the way I responded to these failures. I allowed fear, doubt and discouragement to cause me to give up before i had even begun to pursue my quest to its final victory.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Answer 12

Thanks for your question. Certainly positive change is a lifetime process which occasionally involves "creative destruction."  Can you visualize and then write down what you would like your life to be like in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years?  Could you develop a specific plan for achieving these goals?  Once developed I suggest that you be resolute in accomplishing these objectives.  This is the point where "creative destruction" frequently creeps in.  You can not allow yourself to turn this whole process of change inward and make it the "Dark Night of the Soul." I wish you love friendship and success.

Answer 13

I make it a rule to have a trip.

Answer 14

This one is  confused about "having doubts about life..." as life is imply that which it is and nothing more or less and as lived in the present moment.

What doubts can one have?

If one is understandings ones employment to not be the "correct employment" then, once one understands ones reasons for such an understanding, then one finds or creates a livelihood that is correct.

If one finds that his or her current lifestyle is causing them and others to suffer then one must reflect so s to arrive at an understanding of the same and so as to discern what that one must do that will be of benefit to that one and to all others and then, with courage, pursue the same.

The same must be done for all of the various aspects of ones present life.

All must be understood and properly seen objectively, as it really is and not subjectively in the vain hope that life will fit you instead of you fitting life.

This one would recommned that you read "The Heart of the Buddha's Teachings" by Thich Naht Hanh and that you find a good aikido dojo, learn about O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, his philosphy and the art of peace.

It is this ones sincere wish and hope that these may assist you in finding your way, your own answers and in being "peace".

Be well.
