Expert Answer

It totally depends on your understanding of yourself. It could be something as simple as trying to fix a bad habit you have, or it could be something as grand as trying to change your attitude towards life.

It's good that you're happy, but it helps to reflect periodically on how you're spending your time. What is it you want to achieve? Who do you want to meet? What do you want to open up to? It just creates this gateway for magic to happen

Expert Answer

You can't control another person's behavior, but you can try to talk to them about it. Before you do, just check in ask them if it's okay you ask them a few questions or give them suggestions. It's really key to get someone's permission before you start delving into something like that.

Question

How can I move on from the past and focus on the future?

Community Answer

Remember that dwelling on the past will never allow you to have new experiences and move on to greater and better things. It already happened, and there is nothing that can ever change that. The only thing you can change is your future.

Question

Despite all the suggestion, I still can't figure out who I am or how am I going to discover my destiny, God's plans for my life. I feel like I don't know how to do anything.

Community Answer

Maybe don't focus so much on the big things like God's plans for you right now. Try to focus on you. Who are you? To figure that out, try finding things you are passionate about - things that even on a bad day brighten you up. Destiny is a tricky thing, a big thing, like a huge umbrella we cannot control, I don't really think anyone knows their destiny ever. People simply follow the course that they find will make them happiest. Remember that everything happens for a reason.

Question

What if I don't have control over my negative thoughts?

Community Answer

If you are referring to intrusive thoughts that you cannot brush away, seeing a therapist or doctor may be the best option. Also maybe try some relaxation techniques like meditation and breathing exercises.

Question

What's wrong with me?

Community Answer

Probably plenty of things. You're human, living in a fallen, broken world. Figuring out your weaknesses is important, but don't linger there for too long. Make a plan about how to better yourself and keep at it till you see results.

Question

Is it attractive to people if I have a large purpose in life?

Community Answer

Many people find being driven and having meaningful objectives an attractive quality. But finding purpose with the intent of impressing others will likely not be a satisfying endeavor. Instead, it's probably a better use of your time to find purpose and meaning simply to better yourself.
