Regaining new life and freedom, yet confused, what are my purposes and goals? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

What are my goals and objectives? After paying off all debts, I feel the joy of being reborn and free, but I am a little lost. I have to take a self-study exam a week after Tomb Sweeping Day next month. I started taking the exam in 2019, and I can take it twice a year, up to 4 subjects at a time. My major has 16 subjects, and I only have a college diploma. I have already passed 10 subjects, and I can get it in as fast as 2 years, but I have actually procrastinated for so long (it's not exactly "procrastination"!

Who would have thought I would have experienced so many things? (I have changed so many jobs, and I have had an epidemic, debt, been scammed, had a mental illness attack and been hospitalized, and so many other things, and I have to take medicine every day. Today, I looked and found that all the hotels I have stayed in before that I felt good about are fully booked. No rush, there is still more than a month to go! What do I really want? I don't feel the need to ask!

But I still want to ask, I'm currently working in an internet cafe, I only get paid, and I don't have anything else. I feel like I'm already "free," but what am I worried about? Am I worried about failing the exam? Am I worried about not getting a junior college diploma? What is the deeper reason?

Feeling is more of a kind of anxiety, right? I'll be 27 soon, and after all these years, I'm only not in debt. What have I done with the money I borrowed and the money I owed before? Only I know what I've done with the money. I must take full responsibility for my mistakes and lack of knowledge. If I could choose back then...maybe everything would be different. But there's no such thing as regret. It's my own lack of knowledge. I've paid this "intellectual tax" myself. So what now? Just do what you should do!

First, I'll do some work at the internet cafe! Is it compulsive disorder or what? You have nothing better to do than study for your exams, so when you're not busy, you use your phone to brush up on the questions and deepen your understanding of the key points you need to study for.

What's wrong with me? Isn't this enough?

Can your knowledge and abilities support your ambitions and desires? Or do you want to pay the "IQ tax" again, and spend all the money on things you can't do yourself, as you did before? I have also studied financial literacy, and after so much experience, I should know how to properly treat money and wealth!

And I majored in accounting, so I should have a deep understanding of money and wealth. For some reason, I always see myself putting on a suit and leather shoes again, with the PICC logo on my chest, returning to the PICC Group. We will meet again if it is meant to be. I know that some things are bound to happen, whether we like it or not, it is all in the hands of the gods. I have a feeling of starting over again, even though these are just imagined images. I am finally free. This is not just any ordinary restart, but a restart from the lessons of the past. It is a process of dialectical affirmation and negation, a wave-like advance and spiral ascent! Remember all of this!

I am the one who will inevitably turn all beautiful ideas and visions into reality!

I am the one who will inevitably turn all beautiful ideas and visions into reality!

Firstly, I would like to express my understanding and sympathy to you. You have experienced a great deal of difficulty and challenge, but you have not given up and are trying to move forward, which is admirable. When facing confusion and anxiety, I would like to offer you some advice and encouragement.

Identify your core purpose and motivation. You have made significant progress and achieved considerable success. Despite any current challenges, it is important to remember your original objectives. Reflecting on past achievements and setbacks can provide insights that will help you regain direction and motivation.

It is important to accept your past, including mistakes and setbacks. While these cannot be changed, they can provide valuable lessons for moving forward. Avoid self-blame for past choices but use them as learning opportunities.

Seek assistance and support. Do not attempt to overcome challenges in isolation. You may find it beneficial to seek guidance from friends, family, or professionals. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with others can help you gain clarity on your emotions and thoughts.

Maintain a positive mindset and believe that your choices and efforts will ultimately lead to success, despite the difficulties and challenges you may face.

Above all, maintain hope and a positive outlook on the future. Despite any challenges you may face, persevere and believe that you will find happiness and success in your endeavours.

Hello there.

From what you've told me, it seems like you're less confused than most people. It's pretty clear to me that you have a goal and a plan for how to achieve it. Your goal is to get back to People's Insurance Group with the PICC emblem on your chest.

It's clear from these images in your mind that these are your goals.

Now that you've paid off all your debts, you feel really relaxed, like you've been reborn. You want to keep moving closer to your goal.

Given all you've been through, including changing jobs several times, the pandemic, scams, and being hospitalized due to a mental illness, it's understandable you'd feel frustrated. This has made you think that achieving your goals in real life is difficult.

You're not as ambitious as you once were, singing all the way and feeling invincible. You're facing unprecedented difficulties. You know there are many unknowns ahead, so you're feeling a little unsure and a bit lost.

The worry in your heart may be due to some uncertainty. In fact, it is precisely because the road ahead is uncertain and the future unpredictable that our current passion to forge ahead seems even more meaningful.

I think your experience is like an inspirational movie. Despite everything you've been through, you haven't let it get the better of you. You've overcome one challenge after another and come out the other side stronger and able to keep going.

You really deserve a pat on the back and some well-deserved recognition. You're an amazing person. You're resilient, you can handle both victory and defeat, and you never give up.

After going through so many hardships, even if you make it out of the pit, people will become lazy or fatalistic. But you still have the motivation to move forward and you are still forging ahead courageously. I want to follow your example and learn from you.

Your rebirth is meaningful. You already know how to handle money and wealth, losses and gains, and good times and bad times.

This rebirth and your previous life already have a new meaning.

You said you know that you're not just starting over, but starting over with the lessons you've learned from the past. It's like a wave, from ignorance to knowledge, from emotion to reason.

I think you're spot on. You've reflected deeply and thoroughly on your past experiences, which has elevated your entire perception from the old level to the current one.

I also believe you'll turn your vision into reality. It's not the suffering itself that's meaningful, but the boost to your thinking after experiencing it.

I'm sending you my best wishes, and I love you.

Hello, question asker! First of all, I must say that your experience has really been full of twists and turns, but you have come through it all with resilience and maturity.

The feeling of being reborn, like the phoenix, is both a relief and a new beginning. Everyone goes through a stage of being at a loss, especially after experiencing so much.

The self-study exam you mentioned is proof of your self-improvement and pursuit of progress. You have passed 10 subjects, which is no easy feat. Your strong learning ability and perseverance are evident.

Let me be clear: your goals and objectives are not set in stone. They will continue to be adjusted and refined as you grow and experience.

Start from within yourself. Think about what you really want and what makes you feel content and happy. You have a promising future in accounting. You can develop in this direction, but you can also fully explore your other interests and possibilities at the same time.

Next, I'm going to share a story. A friend of mine also experienced a low point in her life, but she chose to face it with a positive attitude.

She kept learning and improving herself, and she got out of trouble and realized her dreams. This story proves that you can overcome any obstacle if you maintain a positive attitude and take action.

In psychology, the "self-determination theory" states that our behavior is driven by internal motivation and desire. When we clarify our goals and objectives, we are more motivated to pursue them.

You must also learn to adjust your state of mind and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.

I have some specific advice for you. First, you need to develop a clear life plan that includes short-term and long-term goals.

This will help you work in a more targeted way. Secondly, you should find activities and interests that stimulate your inner motivation, so you can feel more fulfilled and satisfied.

Finally, maintain a positive attitude and take action. You will find your way out of confusion and achieve your goals and objectives.

Furthermore, I want to remind you not to be too anxious or self-deprecating. Your past experiences have made you who you are today, and there are endless possibilities waiting for you to explore in the future.

Believe in yourself, in your abilities, and in your potential, and you will create a bright future for yourself. Go for it!

You are the best! You will find your own goals and objectives and lead a fulfilling life.

You should definitely continue with your studies for the self-study exam. It might be a bit difficult, but you have already proven that you have the ability and perseverance to face challenges.

Make a detailed study plan and set aside time every day to review and practice. Join study groups or find partners to encourage and support you.

This will improve your learning efficiency and help you make like-minded friends.

You can make this happen. Turn that image of returning to PICC Group with a PICC logo pin on your chest into a concrete action plan. Learn about PICC Group's recruitment information and job requirements. Improve your professional skills and qualities. Then, submit your resume.

At the same time, you must keep an open mind. Don't get too attached to a specific goal or vision. Make adjustments and changes based on the actual situation and your own development.

You are a brave and strong person. You have already experienced many twists and challenges, but you have not given up on your dreams and pursuits.

You will create a bright future for yourself in the days to come. Go for it!

You are the best! No matter what difficulties you encounter, you will overcome them. Stay positive and believe in yourself.

Hello, questioner! I am Rose, and I am here to listen and support you.

Your words are a testament to your strength and resilience. They are filled with self-awareness, self-knowledge, and a profound sense of encouragement. It is evident that you are a person with dreams, and I am honored to read your words.

Let's chat about it!

You're taking the exam and have already passed ten subjects, which is great.

I don't know what kind of experience you've had in the past, but I can tell you've had to fight to get this far. But you're strong, and you've made it. You're a person with dreams in your heart.

You are still studying for exams on your own and constantly improving your education, despite facing debt and survival. This is already a lot better and more outstanding than most people.

You feel like it's been a long time, don't you? You know there've been a lot of changes, not just in the environment, but in you too.

This period was a test for you and for almost everyone. We all passed.

You will succeed in your self-study. I am certain of it.

2. You want to know what you really want.

You know the answer to this question.

All your questions are worth exploring and asking. This shows you are responsible for yourself and a very enterprising person. You have also made wise choices.

3. You have a salary. Is this what you really want?

You say you already have a salary, but you don't feel free. Then ask yourself: What do you mean by freedom?

What do you really want?

You're asking yourself what you're really worried about, and you're highly self-aware. You're anxious inside because you don't know what you're living for, what you're pursuing, or how you're going to get what you want.

Everything is unknown. That's precisely why we're uneasy.

But you should think about this: because of the unknown, we have all the possibilities to create the life we want.

Think about what you really want. This is not a one-time question. Think about it from time to time.

Read more. It will help you discover your deepest desires and see the path ahead more clearly.

4. Your experiences are your wealth.

All experiences are worthwhile, even a small mistake. They are a guide on your way to your ideal. Only after you have walked the path will you know what you want and what you don't want.

Make mistakes to grow. It's tuition.

5. The image in your mind is your guide.

This image is important to you and is what you truly desire because it will always linger in your mind.

You need to find what you really like and devote your passion to it. This will make you clear about your goals and full of passion.

What you firmly believe will surely come true. There is a self-fulfilling prophecy in psychology that says that when you believe in something, you will get it. This is what many people now call the law of attraction.

Everyone who has a dream is a brave person in life. They love life even after experiencing the suffering of reality. This is true heroism.

You are included.

The world and I love you. Best wishes!

Hi. The character is coming soon.

I am honored to see the inner feelings you have shared, and I am in awe of your inner strength.

You have written in a way that is honest, open, and reflective. This is an effective and suitable way for you to relieve anxiety.

When you experience the joy of being debt-free and feeling free and relaxed, you will reflect on the past, become aware of the anxiety of upcoming exams, and feel both confused and hopeful about the future. And finally, you will encourage yourself: "I am the one who will definitely turn all my good ideas and visions into reality!" These are all very positive realizations, and they will create a positive cycle.

I have interacted with you before, and I can see that you have grown. You have changed a lot and are getting closer to your ideal self.

You understand yourself more and more, and the ideal you hope for is becoming clearer: the image of a man in a suit and leather shoes, with the company logo on his chest, is concrete. It will definitely happen.

You must remember this feeling of joy and hope. It will be the most important resource to get us through the dark times.

It's normal to feel lost. Just keep moving towards your goal. No journey is ever wasted. We can all learn from these experiences, and they are all very valuable. I am especially happy for you.

Finally, I want to leave you with Paul Meyer's famous quote: "What you clearly meet, eagerly desire, sincerely pursue, and fight for with all your heart will naturally come true."

That's all. Your dream will come true soon.

I am a potato farmer, and I know you. Thank you for your attention.

Good day.

You are not yet old, but you have already experienced many challenges and setbacks. While facing many difficulties, you worked hard to achieve your financial goals. As you said, this time you are starting over, not from scratch, but with all your previous experiences and the valuable lessons you have learned through your own actions.

Despite the perception that your previous choices were the result of a lack of self-awareness, you have demonstrated resilience and commitment in striving to rectify these choices. This process is commendable. Errors in judgment and decision-making are a common occurrence, yet your determination and courage in accepting accountability are noteworthy.

I believe this experience will prove invaluable to you.

You have indicated that you feel adrift following the repayment of your debts. I believe this may be a form of discomfort. The period of debt repayment was a constant, looming presence. You lived a life of fatigue, but with a clear goal, moving forward with determination.

Then, the goal is no longer apparent. While this may initially feel reassuring, it is likely to evoke feelings of uncertainty and a lack of direction. This period represents a temporary state of equilibrium following the release of tension. It may be indicative of the need for a period of rest and recuperation, during which you can allow yourself to adapt and await the emergence of a new objective.

It may be the case that you have a tendency to demand that you have a clear goal and know what to do at all times. You expect yourself to be clear-headed, motivated, and striving at all times.

Not having clearly defined objectives is a source of considerable discomfort, particularly when one is not in control of one's circumstances. Prior to becoming debt-free, despite the pressure, you probably felt at ease and comfortable knowing what you wanted to do every day.

Although you dislike being in debt, you may appreciate the lack of concern and the clarity that debt provides. Once debt is repaid, the goal is no longer present, and you must confront the absence of a goal. You may reject confusion because it is seen as an unfavorable state of mind and a lack of value. Therefore, you may be motivated to eliminate confusion and pursue a new goal.

Whether it is taking a self-study exam or returning to your previous career, it may simply be a means of avoiding confusion rather than a genuine aspiration.

It is not uncommon for individuals to experience a period of uncertainty and lack of clarity about their goals and aspirations. Many people have spent a significant portion of their lives without having reached a point of clarity about their life direction.

They are simply more adept at providing solace to themselves, feigning contentment with their daily lives, and appearing to have a clear sense of direction. It requires courage to acknowledge that you are uncertain, to be patient amidst your confusion, to gradually discern and embrace your true passions, and to identify your own unique path.

Do not attempt to resolve your confusion through extensive deliberation and elaborate plans. These imaginations will only serve to increase the pressure you are under.

The majority of these concepts are impractical and cannot be implemented immediately. Frequently fantasizing about unfeasible solutions to address current issues may lead to increased irritability and a tendency to make misguided decisions.

Allow yourself to experience confusion, and in the midst of confusion, settle your heart, experience the daily life you have, feel yourself, and do whatever you want to do in every moment, and take action immediately. Set some small goals for yourself that you are willing to achieve, and get started.

It is important to experience your own feelings in the process of doing things and to gradually identify the most effective way to proceed and your own inner interests. While this may not be immediately apparent, with time and experience, these aspects will become more evident.

When you reflect on the outcome, you will see that it aligns with the trajectory you set out to achieve. I believe that life is a process that unfolds in this way.

There is no need for prophets; a calm heart and a methodical, incremental approach to measurement and experimentation are sufficient. It is possible to feel and experience this with a sense of groundedness and to ultimately chart one's own course in life.

I hope this information is useful to you. As a listening coach, I am available to discuss any further questions or concerns you may have.

Best regards,

You must stop blindly pursuing the self, generating anxiety, and learn how to truly love others and adapt to people and things. This will correct the energy field to avoid or alleviate negative emotions and symptoms.

To truly love others is to wish them happiness and to forgive them for their shortcomings, whether they are outstanding or ordinary, weak or strong. If there are mistakes or shortcomings, they can be corrected. Everyone has the right to happiness, and it is our duty to ensure that they are happy. We must accept others and ourselves, tolerate their shortcomings, and be kind. We must be beneficial to others and society, and we must not dislike or reject ordinary people or be jealous or intolerant of outstanding people.

If you don't get along with most people, it will lead to negative energy and negative emotional problems. You must correct your energy field to truly love others and adapt to people and things. This will make it more likely that you will find and have a loving and suitable relationship and career. You can also share and exchange what you see, hear, think, feel, or are interested in with others in real life and on the Internet, such as Douban communities.

Love your life and be content with the little things.

Negative energy affects your physical health. Keep your body comfortable and healthy with a full-body massage. The head massage includes the forehead and face, which also have meridians. Massage the head with deep, firm strokes, and massage the stomach with a firm massage brush. Do not massage the stomach on an empty stomach, and then take a walk.

If you have negative emotions, thoughts, or behaviors, you will not feel comfortable physically or mentally. You will often encounter unhappy people and things, interpersonal conflicts, relationship and marriage problems (which will affect your magnetic field), and even problems in your academic or career life. This is because when you are too self-centered or pursue self-interest, you accumulate a lot of negative energy. The more self-centered you are, the more your magnetic field will be out of sync with other people's. You need to learn how to truly love others and adapt to people and things, so as to correct your energy field, resolve conflicts, improve your emotions and interpersonal relationships, and better solve the above problems. In addition, if you know how to truly love the people and things in the world, you will not be too attached to love, and you will be able to alleviate negative emotions such as separation anxiety and pain. You will not feel lacking inside, and you will be able to feel happiness. Only in this way can your life become fulfilling and meaningful.

They can also help those around them grow and change together, if necessary.

Excessive self-centeredness manifests itself in different ways for different people. It can take the form of pursuing self-satisfaction, striving for self-interest or repressing self-deprecation to please others, blindly giving in to gain, being afraid of losing, or disregarding the gains and losses of self-interest and emotions. It can also take the form of being too narcissistic or inferior, paying too much attention to oneself, generating stress and worry, social phobia, being caught up in one's own emotions and thoughts, attaching too much importance to what others think of oneself, not accepting one's own shortcomings and deficiencies, forcing oneself to be perfect, being obsessive, controlling, possessing others or forcing others to satisfy oneself, otherwise resenting and being discontent, being unable to let go of oneself to forgive and forgive, and brooding.

If you pursue the self, you will become anxious, depressed, and tired, and you may even be unable to adapt to the people and things in your school or workplace environment. If you truly love others and adapt to people and things, you will naturally look down on the self and restore positive energy.

In short, do your best, have good intentions, and don't harm others. Nobody wants to suffer.

I can relate to feeling both liberated and lost after such a significant milestone. It seems like you're on the cusp of something new, ready to redefine your path. The exam is just one step in reclaiming control over your future. With 10 subjects already under your belt, you're more than halfway there. Just focus on what you can do now, take it one day at a time, and remember that every small victory adds up.

Stanley Anderson Learning is a fountain of new perspectives.

The anxiety you feel might be stemming from the pressure you're putting on yourself to succeed. It's okay to have taken longer than expected; life happens. You've faced challenges that most people couldn't even imagine. Now that you're debtfree, try to channel that sense of liberation into motivation for your studies. Break down your study sessions into manageable chunks and give yourself credit for each achievement along the way.

You've overcome so much already, and getting through this exam is another hurdle you will surpass. It sounds like you're questioning whether your efforts are enough, but remember, any progress is better than no progress. Your background in accounting and your experiences with financial literacy show that you have valuable skills. Trust in your ability to learn and adapt, and don't be too hard on yourself if you stumble. Each setback is also a lesson.

It's natural to question your direction when you're at a crossroads. Maybe the uncertainty about passing the exam or securing a diploma is contributing to your worries. But think of all the times you doubted yourself before and still managed to come out stronger. This time is no different. You have the knowledge and determination to succeed. Focus on the positive aspects of your journey and keep moving forward, even if it's just one step at a time.

Perhaps you're concerned about not living up to your potential or worried that your past mistakes will hold you back. But those experiences have shaped you into someone who understands the value of perseverance. Every challenge you've encountered has prepared you for this moment. Embrace the lessons learned and let them guide you as you prepare for your exam. You've already shown remarkable resilience; now it's time to apply that same strength to achieving your academic goals.
