I suffer from bouts of depression, where I just shut myself off after attaining small goals then start over from scratch after every two weeks. I have no drive or major goals but at the same time I hate feeling pathetic.

I know its weird to ask others to set goals for you, but what do you think are specific goals most people should try to strive for?

I'm just thinking of going through the most common goals and then trying to attain them see what it does for me. Getting a car and a license, becoming more financially stable yadayada.

Would you say having desires are good or bad for you, and do you think most desires are primal in nature? Also if you could explain your interpretation of the middle road between good and bad.

Yeah i'm thinking a bunch of different things at once but anything will be appreciated.

So you're saying i should act like a game character trying to level up to my final form?

Going through ups and downs . It's rough

I think to have a higher level of living i have being changing my diet and consuming different things. WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

I think stress -b Comlex vitamin and Omega oil is helping me.

Google the benefits of Rooibos tea.

My next goal is to join free active club in my city with a group of people, and also want to start meditating.

EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT THINGS UNTIL SOMETHING HELPS

I am currently experimenting with a naturopathic doctor. She assisting me with my diet and lifestyle.
Very pleased with the results

When you change your brain peace and happiness can be easier to reach

So material things like a house and car won't bring happiness. It might make life easier but it won't buy happiness

Whatever is happening in the brain needs to be elevated. Whether it's eating healthy, meditating or reading a book. FEED THE MIND.
Everyone needs to work on that. It's a life journey

Exactly what I mean.

You improve your attributes on a day to day basis and eventually level up to the point where you're the f-king man.

It's how I cope with the crushing responsibility of being the savior of the Somali race.

1. Don't compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to yourself along the time continuum. Eg. Where are you now campared to 1 year ago.

2. Kill the need for validation. Don't externalize your source of power by making it contingent on the approval of others. Self-worth comes from within. Never care about what other people who don't love you think of you, and you'll feel like a slave freed from bondage.

3. To build self-worth and confidence you need to do two things. A. You need to become competent and highly skilled in something of value. Find out what your strengths and interests are and dive-in deep and become an expert. Eg, learning a new language, learning math, learning how to fix cars etc. This will give you a sense of mastery and accomplishment which leads to confidence. B. you need to develop a moral code and live by it. It has to be a moral code you believe is inherently right and true. Live up to this code and you will feel an inner peace and increased self-worth. Breaking ur moral code will lead to feeling shame, guilt and anxiety and other negative feelings that lead to poor self-esteem.

4. Excercise and eat well. Also sleep well.

5. Save money and avoid unnecessary debt, unless it's smart debt.

Interest rates are ridiculously low nowadays.

I maxed out my student loans at rates like 0.2% fixed for a decade. Inflation is higher than that, lol. Already have enough to pay the gov back, but instead use it as leverage in business endeavors.
