I'm sure there are plenty of people who are jealous of all the things you mentioned in this post but dont have the drive or courage to make those things happen for themselves. Keep up what you're doing. You may have been a little fuzzy on the destination, but you certainly haven't been coasting. And to be perfectly honest, some of the most interesting people in this world (like you) didnt know what they wanted to be at 20, 30, 40, and so on. Tell whoever called you a coaster to enjoy their boring life and if they want to live vicariously through a real winner to read your blog. It's like biting down on the medal after the triathlon; it's the sweet taste of success. Dont let anyone sour it for you.Neal T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08332369179248525041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231046959490068895.post-65153016799243661292010-08-29T17:04:23.059+03:002010-08-29T17:04:23.059+03:00Sorry to be a harbinger, but, you won't find y...Sorry to be a harbinger, but, you won't find your key drive or passion. <br /><br />As should be clear from your list you are someone who can pick up almost anything that grabs you; then make more progress instantly than people who have put in years of energy into thier one sole passion.<br /><br />You would die of boredom if you had to give up many of your passions for just one... I think the problem you have got is of a different stripe.<br /><br />You are concerned you are missing out. You want to do everything.<br /><br />Be careful you don't swallow your world and find yourself unable to move.Jesse [i'mstillwithitallyouemohipsters]https://www.blogger.com/profile/09503338061400958781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231046959490068895.post-89040513013513237552010-08-29T12:41:43.932+03:002010-08-29T12:41:43.932+03:00Thank you for the follow up, S, I do appreciate th...Thank you for the follow up, S, I do appreciate the vote of confidence. <br /><br />SJ, I suppose you're right, tho its one thing to write a post, and another to actively go out there and do something about my current dissatisfaction.

In the meantime, there's nothing wrong with 'trying out' anything that you feel drawn towards. Only by experiencing it, will you know whether or not you want to devote all your time and energy to it. <br /> I have no doubt that, when you determine your main goal, you will have no problem excelling at it. You've already proven your drive and focus.srm1138https://www.blogger.com/profile/16137337924134244026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231046959490068895.post-15390313679850107742010-08-29T10:18:17.729+03:002010-08-29T10:18:17.729+03:00Guys - thank you all for your responses.

My intention wasn't to express sadness or distress, rather to prove (to myself before anyone else) that I do have what it takes to excel in whichever path I choose for myself. <br /><br />Aron - I think my main concern for myself is actually 'when?'. When will I realise what it is that I want for myself? Technically, sure, I have the time to figure it all out. However, I'd rather be utilising this time strengthening my skills for whatever it is Im going to do rather than sampling a bit of everything, which undeniably is not the worst thing I could be doing. Masterchef eh? Hmm thank you for your suggestions - duly noted :)<br /><br />S - thank you for your vote of confidence. I appreciate you sharing your experiences with me. I just think at this stage of my life I need to hone down and focus on a particular task because I want to excel. That's not to say I can't excel in a variety of different areas, but I'd rather have a single interest that requires all of me, all my energy and focus, than coast from one to the other, doing this to an 'ok' standard and continuing on. You see what I mean?Reemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670028917836886212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231046959490068895.post-32082802604641204262010-08-29T10:04:42.595+03:002010-08-29T10:04:42.595+03:00"Aimlessness" isn't necessarily a ba..."Aimlessness" isn't necessarily a bad thing. A person's late teens and twenties should be spent experiencing as much life as possible. In that, you have excelled. Your numerous interests will supply you with an abundance of choices, when you decide which 'primary' course you wish to follow. However, there's no rule that says one has to be tied to one thing for the whole of their lives. I've done lots of different 'jobs' to pay the rent and have had lots of different 'hobbies'. I may also be "aimless", but I've had a more rounded life because of it.srm1138https://www.blogger.com/profile/16137337924134244026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231046959490068895.post-58474444958277831642010-08-29T09:58:36.026+03:002010-08-29T09:58:36.026+03:00To have experienced so much at such a tender age p...To have experienced so much at such a tender age proves you are not aimless in life. You just haven't found that one thing that lights the spark inside of you.<br /><br />When you find it though - you'll know.<br /><br />Why don't you start writing a book, even if just for fun, or even better - enter Masterchef!<br /><br />Whatever you decide upon, give it all your energy to make it a success, and no longer will you think of yourself as a coaster.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725332420512104198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231046959490068895.post-61616247360709433332010-08-29T00:50:03.555+03:002010-08-29T00:50:03.555+03:00I love the productivity of transforming criticism ...I love the productivity of transforming criticism into a call to action.<br /><br />You clearly have gallons of potential and there are obvious success stories within the article alone that amplify your ability to achieve on a consistent basis.<br /><br />It is within your own desire, self belief and aspirations that you so rightfully take what you have absorbed and create a path so that the rest of the world can recognise your brilliance.<br /><br />The future is bright Bambi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
