Hi sos,

Maybe you're trying to take big steps instead of baby steps to where you want to get. Set a goal for yourself, then break that goal into small, doable goals.

There's a saying, "How do you eat an elephant?" Answer - "One bite at a time."

That's a truism of life. If you feel motivated, that's great, but you have to then do the hard work to accomplish what you set out to do. That's what leads to frustration is when you set up a goal that is unrealistic for yourself. Let's say, you doodle all the time and people tell you that your doodles are cool or interesting. However, your parents want you to become a doctor or an engineer. Your creativity will feel thwarted which can lead to frustration. And a doctor or an engineer requires a completely different set of skills than yours are. Imagine how frustrating that would be, when in your heart you really wanted to go to an arts school.

If you haven't already done this, find a place, usually colleges offer aptitude tests. Maybe your high school counsellor knows of a place (I'm assuming you are in high school). Once you have a focus of what you're good at, you can start to set a few concrete, achievable goals for yourself.

Best of luck.

re-invent yourself. new look, new hobbies, whatever new things to do... anything to challenge yourself. sometimes a simple thing as re-arranging your bedroom or the entire house would give a new sense of being. a fresh start so to speak. cheers!!!

good luck with the new you...

Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
