Most of the time each day is spent on meaningless activities, how can one enrich themselves? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I currently lack a goal and spend most of my time on meaningless activities. The only meaningful thing is exercising in the afternoon or helping my dad deliver goods by driving. I know my current goal should be studying, but due to ignorance and a lack of effort in the past, I now have no foundation and don't know how to start. I also wondered if not being good at studying means one can't earn a living. This thought led me to try lottery and search online for ways to make money without a diploma. Upon closer examination, I found it extremely challenging. Eventually, I realized that learning is truly beneficial. Now, at home, I'm unsure how to study and plan to focus on my studies once I return to school. However, being idle at home is unbearable and unfulfilling. I need to figure out what to do and what to learn to enrich myself.

Hello, question asker.

From what you've shared, it seems like you're a highly motivated individual, but it's possible that your foundation is a bit shaky, and you're facing some challenges along the way, which might be contributing to your confusion. Could that be an accurate observation?

The questioner said that he has no goals, but you are trying to find meaningful things to do, such as sports and helping your father. It seems that you have a general idea of what you want, but perhaps there's more you could do to clarify your goals. Is that something you'd be interested in exploring further?

The questioner said that they now recognize the value of learning, but it can be challenging to fully grasp this during the learning process. They have some self-doubting thoughts and are seeking a meaningful path to pursue before entering school. Is that correct?

Perhaps it would be helpful for the questioner to consider that if they achieve their expectations, what will they have done to make the effort that will allow them to achieve their expectations? And when they fulfill their expectations, what will be different?

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider who might be the first to notice.

I would like to suggest to the questioner that it is never too late to pursue their goals, even if they feel they have missed the opportunity in the past. I am 32 years old and I have spent the past ten years or so feeling confused and lost due to low self-esteem and sensitivity. However, I have recently started to make some changes and I am willing to work hard to achieve my goals.

Many people in the world experience confusion, which can be related to a lack of successful experiences or environmental and familial influences. However, when you begin to seek solutions and actively look for ways to improve, you are already on the path to change.

I'm not sure of the specifics of the questioner's situation, but I'd like to offer some suggestions that I hope will be helpful.

It might be helpful to consider adjusting your mindset and unifying your body and mind.

If you can do everything you say you will do every day, and if you can keep your promises, you may find that your self-confidence improves significantly in a short period of time. It might be helpful to remember that keeping your word means doing what you say you will do.

This applies to how you interact with others as well as how you treat yourself. When your words and your feelings are in line, you are speaking from the heart.

It may be helpful to consider the power of positive self-suggestion.

It may be helpful to consider the role of self-psychological suggestion in strengthening positive psychology and avoiding negative reinforcement. When difficulties arise, it can be beneficial to maintain a sense of resilience and determination.

You might like to consider repeating confident words to yourself, such as "I can do it!", "I'm great!", or "I can do better!". This can be a very helpful way of boosting your self-confidence.

This has been supported by findings from psychological research.

It might be helpful to look for and appreciate small successes along the way.

In your daily life, whenever you feel a sense of accomplishment or receive feedback from the outside world, you might consider writing it down in a few words as a "gratitude diary" (I personally use "happy things" to record it). You can often flip through and check it in the future.

It would be beneficial to believe in the power of accumulation.

It is often thought that the size of the stone is a barrier to the seed sprouting. However, this is not the case. Once the seed starts to sprout, the division of cells begins, and this process continues until the seed germinates. The saying "a drop of water can wear through a stone" is an apt metaphor for this process. However, it is not widely believed that a single drop of water can overcome a stone. Similarly, people who are just starting out in their journey may feel like they are not yet strong or sharp. However, it is important to remember that growth and development do not happen overnight.

It would be beneficial to cultivate patience through study and use it to wait for the potential benefits and strength that could be gained after long-term accumulation.

It may be helpful to consider focusing less on thinking and more on doing.

It's worth noting that there is a tendency to think more and do less. When we find ourselves thinking without taking action, it's important to recognize that this can lead to a sense of futility. It's often more beneficial to start with small steps and gradually build upon them. This approach allows us to accumulate progress little by little, day by day, and recognize the value of our efforts.

It might be helpful for the question owner to consider exercising, practicing meditation, and starting with small things.

I believe that with perseverance, things will improve.

I would like to express my love for the world and for you!

Hello!

You've stuck to your home exercise routine, which is great. Not everyone has the discipline to do so.

Good job!

You said you don't have a goal. It seems like you're still in adolescence or early adulthood.

It's normal to feel lost and uncertain during this period. You need to discover your own personality, become independent, form your own values, and make mature, interdependent relationships.

And then you're an adult.

You tried the lottery to make money. This is part of figuring things out.

You've learned that you can't make money from the lottery and that a diploma is important.

This is a basic social learning model: you come up with an idea, gather information to confirm it, and if it's not good, you discard it. If it's good, you keep the idea and put it into practice.

You say you don't know what to learn at home to enrich yourself. Maybe you haven't found something you're interested in, or you learn best in a school setting. Just observe and respect what you find.

Bless you!

Vincent Miller Learning is a way to feed the hungry mind.

I can totally relate to feeling lost and unsure about how to start studying again. It's daunting, but maybe you could begin with small, manageable goals to build up your confidence.

Irene Parish Life is a symphony of nature and nurture.

Feeling the same way, actually. It's tough when you're not sure where to start. Maybe picking one subject you're slightly interested in and starting from the basics could be a good step forward.

It's really hard when you feel like you've fallen behind. But what if you set aside just 15 minutes each day to study something new? Over time, those minutes add up, and you'll start to see progress.

Rusty Davis Learning is the ladder on which we climb to reach the peaks of success.

I've been there too, questioning everything. Instead of focusing on the lack of foundation, how about celebrating the fact that you know what you need to do now and take it one step at a time?

I understand the frustration. Have you thought about joining an online community or finding a mentor who can guide you through the learning process and help you stay motivated?
