Motivation

[darkstarrr]

I'm beginning to come around after having experiencing the nightmare of my life. I need to find something to motivate me and inspire me that will help me be happy about life. It has to be something creative. Not liking joining a basketball league or something like that. I don't know what but I need to find something because I'm out of my daze but I'm still disallusioned about life.

Try taking some short courses in arts. I went through a whole lot of them before finding my passion (swing dancing).

Start listening to this guy.

Then buy the book Thus Spoke Zarathustra and after you read it focus on becoming an Übermensch a.k.a overman.

If that goal does not inspire you nothing will.

Dear Darkstarr,
Depression is one Hell of a problem,very hard to kick it without help.....If you get any worse seek professional help.....Tokyo and Jitterbug have some good ideas.....try not to dwell on things,go out often,even just for a stroll round the shops...throw yourself into your work,looking after a pet can be very helpful....I have found that in affairs of the heart it is next to impossible to just forget an obsession,you can only transfer it and sublimate it in another...good luck.

I tutor at a nearby Middle School, 7th grade social studies. Those kids are so out of control it's just hilarious to watch the teacher have an aneurysm trying to get them to be quiet. It's helped me get out of my funk because I can connect to them and they are pretty needy kids (bad end of town)
