How can I get more out of life? I feel like it is all for nothing...?

Well I'd like to tell you something pretty and meaningful, but you have a grip on the reality of life as it exists. All we can really do is try and find some happiness and gather value from a sense of accomplishing what we set out to do. Since 80 percent of human thought is negative, we're all struggling with that. Glad I didn't know then what I know now when I was going to University, holding down three jobs and striving to make ends meet. Goals are good though. Keeping busy is likely the best way to enjoy the life we have. Find your pions, easy for me to say. I signed up for a salsa cl and now I don't know if I want to bother. Good question! Find out what is important to you, and go with it.
