Do you ever feel like you are meant to do more?

[The Mad Titan]

My life is pretty good, I'm healthy, I've had the privilege to grow up experiencing the hood life, religion, family, lack of family, goon's, gaming, comic and being poor. I've seen all sides of the spectrum.


I've worked since 19, from cutting grass to fast food, to now an IT admin. I make pretty good money, pretty decent looking, a beautiful smart and humble girlfriend and got a lil money in the bank.


But I feel like im suppose to be doing something more deep down..... Maybe its a spiritual calling or lack there of?


I know alot of yall aint gonna feel this, $ and women are the only motivator for you, and I can understand that. I mean my current girlfriend gives motivates me to be a better me.


I'm looking into doing some volunteer work around town, I feel like I need to give back to the community that molded alot of what I've become.


Anyway have any of yall felt like this, or currently feel this way about life.

I feel this way all the time. The bulk of my life's work hasn't even culminated yet.

If I gauged my definition of success by my job, my income, if I have a woman (I don't) or property and all of that...then yea, I would feel content.

But that was never my definition of success...cause I knew I was meant for more.

Even if I had all of the above, I'd still feel lacking. Cause at the end of the day, I'm driven by my dreams and fufilling them. That's why I feel that the bulk of my life's work hasn't even culminated.

That's also why I'm glad I'm single ATM...a woman in my life would be a major distraction...and personally I've defined myself from being a loner, figuring out life alone, dealing with issues alone, dealing with adversity alone, dealing with life alone...that's why I feel I'm a more driven and realized individual. My life isn't based off of making sacrifices, making other people comfortable, or trying to fit in or keep up with the jonseses.

Always. When you're stuck in that 9-5 you feel dirty

From 6th-11th grade I wanted to do so many great things.

I wanted to change the world, help people, create things for those that need it, be a voice in this world.

Honestly, I wanted to be the most powerful and influential person on earth, like Bill Gates status.

Eating shrimp and lobster in a Italian village with Oprah type shyt talking about the world.

Going to those meeting of the powerful and be the only real nikka there for my people.


But the people around me ruined that, said I was only good for football and wouldn't amount to much else.


I had huge dreams, bigger than most kids my age... Now I'm at GT cause MIT rejected me

I can respect this. (I just can't Rep you because I get the error to Rep 30 others first.)

Yeah, breh, we're all crying for you

Yes, but I dont see it as a negative. Its more of an inspirational feel to it. I know Im meant to do more, so I look forward to whatever that "more" may be. I think you can get a glimpse into what it could be by knowing your passions and setting goals. I don't know if you follow me, but I have a good feeling about what else is to come in my life.

 

[Scuti]

everyone and their mother feels like this at some point.

make it happen.

 

[The Mad Titan]

I'm a loner and I always have been, I think its a part of the reason my last serious relationship didn't work out. I've always been all about doing it alone and on my own, that's what makes you strong. But now that I'm older I realize that's not the case at all, its not a bad thing to do.... but its not what makes you stronger as a person and individual.


Helping others and being there for others is what does. And I guess that's why I feel more so than ever that I should be doing more, looking back most memorable positive thing in my life I had help with or encouragement from someone. I'd like to do that or be that person for others.

Yes. This day and age is a very important time in human history. They say history is written by the victors; we all wake up on the same day. Hold your pen, write your script and play your role proper.

Stop wondering and thinking and DO MORE!

I'm with you kind of. I have a 9-5 that is no doubt one of the nicest gig's a nikka can get. I could probably freeze my salary today and live a comfortable life and retirement. Problem is, I can not see myself doing this for another 5 years, much less 30+. I've been in the work force like 6 years and I'm feeling that pull to reshuffle shyt and get into the field that I actually can see myself enjoying in the longer term. Obviously work is work, and doing anything every day gets tiring, but the fulfillment aspect can change.

I might be taking my ass back to school real soon now that I've identified what I think I want to do.

Like this nikka right here said...

I always wanted to be a cop but tried to get a career in other fields. Then, when I got burned out in IT, I applied for a bunch of jobs in the law enforcement field. I got hired and was a cop for a couple of years.
Volunteer work is good if you are motivated to help people, and not just feel obligated by guilt, like you pooped in the Boys and Girls Club headquarters years ago when you were younger and now you find out they really try to help kids and you feel guilty.
Do what you want to do.
