  • Question
    How can I focus on my goals instead of a love life?
    Community Answer
    You are not alone when it comes to this predicament. The desire for a loving companion in life is normal, but there are times in life when other goals should supersede that desire; in fact, working on your life goals can actually help you progress towards a fulfilling love life. When you have developed yourself as a person and gotten to know yourself better, you will find it much easier to find a partner since you will have more of yourself to offer to someone else. If you have a positive mindset and take care of yourself, you will naturally attract people who are on the same positive trajectory as you. You don't want just anyone -- you want a person who is also goal-oriented and positive, just like yourself.
  • Question
    How can I focus better on conversations?
    Community Answer
    It's possible that the real issue is a lack of interest in the conversation material or even the person you're conversing with. Try to come up with topics that you enjoy talking about and steer the conversation in that direction. You might also have issues listening rather than talking, in which case you should practice focusing on what other people are saying more than what you want to say.
  • Question
    I want to achieve a lot of goals simultaneously. Often it's very tough for me to make a selection among my goals. How can I manage this challenge?
    Community Answer
    One simple way is to determine the end date of those goals. Decide by when do you want to complete those goals. If the goals are more about learning concepts or how to do something without a given deadline then consider spending a portion of your free time pursuing one goal each month. A month should be long enough to decide whether to continue after or move on to something else.

    The key isn't to force yourself to be passionate about something, but to find what makes you passionate naturally.

Then, focus on networking with people who have similar interests. Eventually you'll find a hobby, and possibility a community, that you feel passionate about.

  • Question
    I feel so helpless. My parents don't live with each other anymore, I didn't get my admission in university. I'm in pain and don't have siblings and friends. What should I do?

    I like to imagine these things as a staircase. You were blindfolded when they placed you on it, and you can't see how near to the bottom or the top you are. But one thing is for sure: to get to the top, you need to go up. Pick yourself up, take one step at a time. Children need happy parents; preferably together, but if not, may they be happy apart. Keep applying to universities, you only need one. Talk to more people; say hello, see what they're like. But keep your chin up, keep climbing, and I promise, there are landings along the way that are worth your while.

    Still afraid of my choice; seeing those who achieved the same goal make me doubt myself. What can I do?

    Community Answer
    Comparing yourself to others is an insult to who you are. No one is you. You have full control over internal factors, and your focus is one of those factors. Your focus on what you want in life (with the combination of good habits and positive thinking) can make a world of a difference in your reality. Accept yourself and practice meditation.

  • Question
    Why do I fall in love with men that aren't good for me?
    Community Answer
    Simply put, we tend to gravitate and be attracted to what we know. If you fall for men who let you down, it's probably because you had a dad or father figure that let you down. There are a lot of theories about why this is, but the bottom line is this: therapy is the way to sort out your emotional attachments and retrain your brain.

    Community Answer
    Start by setting your values. You should know what is important to you and what makes it so important that you start finding way to achieving it. It is not something that does not require thinking. So, reserve your thinking for your goals instead of whatever you shouldn't think about.
