Is there anything like this?

I don't feel like im good at anything in particular?

  • I know this answer is posted a lot on yahoo answers, but i feel like answers on someone elses question wont help my problems. I'm almost 20 years old, i started drawing about 3 years ago, i started painting at the start of this year and love it, i'm pretty good at writing essays... but outside of that I feel like i'm not exceptionally good at anything. I know it's all about practice, but I don't always feel like just practicing. I like to do that stuff as a hobby and if i force it I don't enjoy it anymore. But if i don't force it then i'll be disappointed in myself because I feel like im not good at all. I'm just really confused on what to do... I want to be really good, exceptionally good.. at something. But I don't know what I should do. Right now, i feel like a loser but at the same time i feel like i have potential. I think a lot of the time i spend is wasted on the computer, but like.. everything is on the computer these days. Homework, news, friends, you name it. What should I do? I don't want to live my life aiming for mediocrity.

  • Answer:

    Life isn't about being the best at any one thing. It's about having a good balance that makes you happy and feel semi-complete. I say semi because chances are you will never feel like you have reached full potential. In terms of a profession, things like writing and painting you have to be very good and very lucky with to have much success. If you do not have the passion to do them all the time than you probably aren't going to achieve the kind of greatness that many others would notice in these areas. They are however great things to have as hobbies. Doing that stuff makes a person more complete and interesting. It is an outlet that can help you sort your feelings, as well as something to be proud of. Success in life is finding happiness. In the end if you have made a living, done interesting and fun things, and had great relationships than you have been successful. And in that if you can add some of your own artwork to your walls and give someone something interesting to read than all the better. While you may not have a great passion for any one of these things, it sounds like you have passion for life. You want greatness. Believe it or not, just that makes you a stand out individual. Many people don't even think about such things. They just do what feels good each day and what they need to get by. If you chase new experiences and really live than your doing great. Career wise, what do you think about every day? If there is any one thing that is commonly on your mind and could be turned into a job than go for that. It may be something simple that you don't feel is a great career, but if it comes natural to you than you will be good at it. You will feel natural at it. And remember that someone has to do it.

It sounds to me like you have yet to find your passion. You may really enjoy drawing, painting, and writing, but it sounds more like what you enjoy for a relaxing past-time than what you're passionate about. My advice? Experience and explore. You'll have to do some branching out, learning, growing, changing, experiencing, and exploring before you find where you fit. Most often this means getting off the computer, out of the book away from the TV (whatever) and getting out in the world and doing things. Remember, experience comes from mistakes as well as successes and, with very few exceptions, there are few things in life you can't undo. So, take safe risks, stretch yourself, and go for it! Sooner or later you'll find where you fit and it will be amazing. The feeling of having found yourself and your passion and making an impact on the world is an amazing one that lifts you up and makes you feel incredible. So, while the effort and time required can be daunting at first, don't give up! Best of luck to you!
