I want to make a contribution to the world or help people in some way. I want my existence in this world to be for some purpose. I want someone to be better off in life from knowing me. I really want to give of myself somehow but I just don't know how to do it. I do small things like bring my friend flowers, bake cookies for someone, random acts of kindness, etc. but I am looking for something bigger than that. Surely I am not here just to be alone and feel as if I am existing in life and not contributing anything. Because that is how I feel. Any thoughts? Thanks for reading. Hope it makes sense.
Yes, it makes sense, my purpose in life is bringing my grandson up, but at 12yrs he refusing to attend school and started to stay out late, this made me feel like i had failed. This coupled with my various health issues makes me feel useless, I am 61yrs old, you are 41 which is relatively young. You are not too old to retrain, try searching online for something that you are good at, I don`t know your location mine is the UK where organisations like NSPCC do good work. I hope you find something to uplift you.
Thanks for this!
