I want to do great things in life, but do I want too much?

Question

I am male 21 and have suffered severe social anxiety and depression since I was 16. Now I am 21 and am somewhat better I have a desire to do so much. (i was slightly reclusive for 3 years)

The problem is I don't have one passion I have many, and I know it is impossible for me to do it all. But I have no preference what I do, and if I choose one then maybe I will regret it later and lose my passion for whatever I started.

I want to become a Dietician or Nutritionist, I want to travel the world, I want to date many hot women, I want to set up my own health business/website/brand that has a very big turnover, I want to help solve poverty in Africa by paying them to work for my business, I want to become a UFC fighter/Cage. I want to gain 40-50 lbs of muscle on my thin body, I want to write a song, I want to play piano, I want to write a book.
Can I do all this by the time I am 30? or am I just a dreamer that will never make it to the top where the air is crisp?

I have suffered for too long with depression so I wanna get even with life and do great things by the time I am 30. But surely my history of depression and semi-severe social anxiety means I am probably just being Manic now and will realize soon I cannot do any of this.

Can my dreams come true or am I destined for failure, or am I just plain Manic?

Answer 1

Although you're only 21! remember there are two kind of people; those who dream and those who act!

You should limit your dreams; I mean be realistic about those things u can really do...and work on them!

It is normal for a young person to feel this way...you want to do so much,and, probably have a lot of energy, while many other people of your age group would lack dreams, ideals and energies to do anything.

Yes! You're probably a manic -depressive person, and this is one of your manic stage...but so what?

As long as you do not stagnate, or loss track of the real beef!

Above all be realistic !

Think about it; how realistic it will be for you to write a song? Do you have the talent for being a composer?

You also want to gain 40-50 pounds of muscless; are you working out and taking the steps to accomplish this goal w/ a trained person?

Do u want to play the piano? Are you taking piano lesson w/ a qualified person, and do you have the means to buy a piano? They 're very expensive, thus!

Just cut down on your dreams, and try to realize the most reachable ones. Ex. You want to become a nutritionist. Then you must study hard... meanwhile, you must organize your time to do some work out...and practice your creative writing on your spare time.

You can do a few things at once, but you, must not only have a realistic goal in mind, but you should be working to achieve it.

Oh! and about dating 'many hot women...be careful with the STD-there are so many out there!

Get real -

1) by establishing realistic goals instead of having just dreams!

2) organie your time setting priorities

3) have a plan by writing down the steps on how you 'll accomplish this ( these) goals

4) Good luck to you ...and your most realistic dreams.

Loved how you put Bruno Mars song at the bottom! Lol I think all people are big dreamers and we all have things we really want to accomplish in life. I think with big motivation you can achieve just about anything you put your mind to. Somethings maybe harder to acheive than others. Why dont you start off by joining a Gym. Have a trainer to help you. Also with your dietician/nutritionist, you could make a website or even a blog about that. A link below tells you how you can also join with Google so you get paid while you give out info and write about nutrion. And also a site about becoming one. Donating to a charity for poverty. There are also many others out there. Learn the piano or an instrument. It takes time and alot of practise. If you dont want to pay for lessons, go online and learn that way! Youtube has some tutouring vids.



People dream all the time about thigs they want to achieve. In reality, some things we cant change or accomplish. But some things we can do with motivation. Maybe you'll need time to achieve some goals of yours. Anyways, best of luck to you!

Answer 3

We are our own limitations.



Whatever you do in your life, don't let your past experiences and ailments dictate what your future can hold. More than one passion shouldn't be a curse. If anything, it's a blessing; there are so many people in the world who can't even find one passion in their lifetime!

Anyway, who knows...maybe you won't have all of it done by the time your 30 but that's not the point. The point is you should do what you love and love what you do because even if you do end up pursuing one passion and it doesn't work out, you've gained some sort of knowledge through your experience.



I hope this offers some insight.

Wow you remind me of myself. I do not think that it is bad that you dream and think big. We can only achieve what we have within our reality. So the fact that you have these big ideas means you have a big reality. I had the same worries. I believe people like yourself and me are what drives innovation for our society. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. But like you have worried about what I call the burn out factor or changing my mind too much. So what I have done is set myself a couple of rules and I will not tell you all of them but I will tell you one that helps me, (even if I loose focus on one idea or another). Residual income…for me if I start a new project be that business or personal I look at it in terms of if I put time into it today will it continue to benefit me in the future after I stop doing it…I have a perfect example is starting a blog or website ( which I help people do now)…you can be really really passionate about it and put tons of work into it but then walk away to focus on other things and it can still pay you because the content is still there for others to enjoy….I think you should look into starting a website and talk out these concerns you have or do something that includes those interests you talked about like bodybuilding you could sell supplements or run a blog on different types of working out. Well I seen your post and really connected so I wanted to impart my 2 cents. Hope it helps you in your journey! Don’t be afraid to take Risks!!!
