Why am i here

Ok so for the longest time I have thought that I am meant to change the world or go on some epic adventure or something, now I'm 15 about to turn 16 but I feel like there's something I'm not getting, or maybe it's right in my face but cant realize it. Now I know that everybody has their own thing that their good at like gaming or drawing, I like to play video games, draw, film, and learn about philosophy or psychology stuff like that. But I'm not the best at what I like and I'm not at the point of where I'd like to be in these things.

Is it normal to feel like your destined for something great? Do people ever accomplish this said great thing even if they don't necessarily know what that great thing is yet?

    Lots feel that way and perhaps you are meant for something special! In my early 20's I was a police officer and thought that might have been my purpose but after several years I quit and went back to college. About 3 years ago, I was about 28, while at college someone burst into the room screaming about someone being dead. I ran out and a girl was on the floor and had stopped breathing. Her heart stopped moments later and I started CPR. Luckily, it worked and she came back. I quietly left the area and attention and found it amazing that the guy ran all the way down the hall into my class instead of the many others near the scene. But here's the weird part...about 6 months to a year later I was walking with a friend at college and before going down the stairs I saw a commotion and heard yelling at the base of the stairs. I looked down then looked to my friend and calmly said, "hmmm that's the same girl". I walked down the stairs and 2 guys started yelling that she wasn't breathing. So again, I started chest compressions and...BAM...that was all it took! When she came back to she mentioned having heart problems and I told her EMS was there and urged her to get help and then I slipped away again. So maybe that was my purpose...maybe I am here to make sure she lived...maybe she needed to survive because SHE has a larger purpose in life. Who knows? Maybe it all means nothing. Regardless... If you don't have a "purpose"...make one! Sometimes small gestures make huge impacts! Good luck!

    Just be sure to look at everything you think with the flip side of the coin. Dont fool yourself into believing your the great one and that you are destined. "Fate if for those who are too weak to determine it"

    Yes it's normal. Just let me give you one little piece of advice - Don't spend too much time pondering your existence or the meaning of life or whatever, find out what you're good at and just f'ing do it. You're probably not "destined" to do anything great at all, in fact if you're anything like 99.9999% of all people - you're "destined" to work hard for an income you can sustain yourself and possibly a family on.

    We are here, Just to be.

    Remember that always mate. Don't overcomplicate it, there's no hidden meaning, no deep thought bullshit. Read it again, and just understand what the words tell you.

    Long version:
    So a million years ago by luck life happened on this speck of blue in a galaxy far, far away from a galaxy that's far from ours (lol). So what?
    underwater life->amphibians->reptiles->mammals->apes n shit->humans->21st century humans who can launch their ass into space and make sure the shit goes down the fuckin' pot when they "flush" in space.

    Say we even achieve doing/making inter galactic travel (warp drives and shit), cure cancer, teleport, and other things like force field, etc, we still would have one raging question bugging our great x1000 grandsons.

    "Now what?"

    See the thing is, as does a cockroack, bird, mouse, cat, dog, horse, a fuckin' ant or a bacteria lives and dies, so will each of us. What remains of our lives, is nothing. Forget that legacy bullshit. So what if your sons and daughter carry on your name or your achievement and Nobel prize does. You are dead. DEAD. You wouldn't be able to give a shit about it.

    So, its the journey we should enjoy, not the destination. I say devote 30% of your day to working so that you can survive (aka job/business/ponzi-scheme) according to the rules of the current society, and enjoy the rest 70%.

    Most people forget that each day is a privilege. They keep working their asses off 70-90 hours a week or more, to build that "retirement fund" or shit. I mean, its good to save, but not that much that you live miserly now. What if a trucker hits you tomorrow? (I hope not though). What if a punk shoots you in the head for a couple of bucks he snatches from you?

    I had all this thinking piece by piece in the last 5-6 months after college ended, waiting for my joining in an MNC. So job, money, luxury-cars, and las-vegas isn't what life's about. Sure if you can, get them all, but, don't let 'em consume this moment totally. Enjoy your every breath. And work barely to have a comfortable meal today, and for tomorrow.

    That's why you are here. That's what the roaches,ants,mice,squirrels and lions do.

    Not at the point where you would like to be the best in those things? You say you want to do great things but you don't even have the motivation to be good in the things you like to do. Looks like you are just another person destined to be overworked, underpaid, under-appreciated, corporate slave. Or you could get some damn motivation to be good at the things you do. Have fun in the real world! =D
