My problem - I want life to be an adventure

No story, that's the problem. Nothing to tell. Not that i wish that i had a problem, but i want to do an adventure with someone i love. I just want to have a life to tell that words can not describe it.

Life does not mean "live" but something more; it also does not mean to sleep all day, or to watch tv or to go to school..........

I don't know... i just dream about something bigger. Maybe i don't want to live in routine. Maybe this is the problem.

I am fed up.

Doug's Reply: I understand what you are feeling. Many people, myself included, sometimes crave for something "more" to give life meaning.

Everyone wants to believe they are unique and that their life has some purpose. Perhaps to make a difference in the world; perhaps to find excitement and adventure.

If you are stuck in a routine, look inside yourself. Identify your values. And make a list of your strengths. God or the universe has gifted every person with a unique combination of talents.

Take to heart the admonition that was carved over the entrance at Delphi, and which Socrates spent his life teaching: Know Thyself.

Once you know yourself, consider your situation. Not everyone can run off on a literal adventure. You might have very important responsibilities, such as caring for your family.

What you seek could be right around the corner. I would say that someone who devotes their life to helping the poor has an adventure every day.

You will experience far more satisfaction in giving than in taking. Give of yourself, meet a need, and you will not be fed up for long.

Best of luck to you.
