but the way i see it, my longing to make the world a better place can never be satiated.

i don't know if that makes sense to you guys, but it makes sense to me. oh* edit- i'm going back t o school to be an elementary school teacher. right now i'm volunteering.

me too...i want to teach children to read...but today i was thinking about being a guidance counselor and helping kids go to college and get money forcollege/vocational training after HS...

kids are my passion...i would honestly do it for free...my bf told me last night i couldn't change the world and i really wanted to fight him...

i have so many ideas for working with children...and working with young girls so they don't end up lost and crazy...

i want to help children stay active and teach the value of nutrition.

no i don't think life has a "purpose," but at the same time i can't imagine not working towards a goal.

I'm about 99.9% sure I was put on this world to practice politics. I can't think of anything else I could possibly do or want to do.

me too man, and i actually do do it for free, volunteering. actually, volunteering is what made merealize how much i love kids. if you love something so much that you'd do it for free, and you can envision yourself doing it for the rest of your life,then you should do it

From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.

and don't worry about what your bf said, if it makes YOU happy then that's all that matters- and plus-

Props to everyone who said working with kids btw

I've been volunteering to tutor/coach kids every year for the last like 5 years....during the school year, summer, etc. especially in Hartford, CT andLawrence, MA where some of the schools are really bad compared to the surrounding areas.

Such a good thing to do, and it's crazy fun actually. A lot of those kids are so cool.

OP this may help you...I know it helped me when I was"Lost"...


[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I will be explaining some of the Generalised Principles that you can apply to your life.Using these principles will help you to:[/font]

• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Make a big positive difference in the world.[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Increase the amount of happiness and blessings in your life.[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Fulfill your life's purpose.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][color= rgb(0, 0, 255)]PRECESSION[/color][/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The first Generalised Principle wewill look at is called:[/font]

Precession is not PROcession, which mean movement in a line. Instead, Precession is:

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I will give you a few examples toexplain this.

[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]What happens when you drop a stoneinto some water?[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ripples go out. That is, there isa side effect to the main effect. And the side effect can be very large.[/font]


[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Here is another example.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It is possible, just possible, that the honey bee has a life purpose. What would thatlife purpose be? To pollinate plants, to keep life on earth going. We wouldn't exist if it wasn't for honey bees.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]But do you think the honey bee gets up each morning and says to herself that she has tocross pollinate plants? No. She just has - what goal? To collect nectar to make honey.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Precession happens at right angles to the direction of motion. It's a side effect. In the case of the honey bee, the sideeffect is what? The pollination of plants, and the maintenance of life on earth.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So, it's just possible thatpollinating plants is the bee's TRUE PURPOSE.

[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Now, if the honey bee has a truepurpose, who else do you think may have a true purpose in life? US

[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So here's the cosmic joke. Ifthe goal was your life purpose, and you achieved it, what would happen? You'd stop. But once you stop, there is no precession, no side-effects -and it's the side -effect, not the goal, that is your life purpose.

[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Humans are MEANT to be IN MOTION.

[/color][/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thereal fruit of what we would be doing would not be obvious to us, because it would be at right angles to the goal we set. It would happen as a side effect.

[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The trick is toset the right goals. How do we know if the goal we set is creating the right side effects?

[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]YOU are not meant to go after money. Youshould instead, set a goal that 'adds value'. That is, that improves the quality of people's lives orof the earth.

[/font]

well duh, that's why i said i wanted to be an elementary school teacher. i know i have to pay bills.

but i don't want to work with rich snotty kids... i want to work with underprivileged kids.. right now i volunteer with kids at the briarwood salvationarmy homeless shelter... i want to work with the ones that can't pay for a fancy education but are still smart and awesome kids.

i don't care about a big salary. i care about making a difference. so as long as i'm stable, i'm good. and smh at rich husband. i don't evensee a signifigant other in my future right now, or at least for a very long time, and i could care less.

mytmouse- that's really cool

i wish i had someone to hook me up like that. good luck with everything!
