I want some guidance on how to move ahead with these... Once a workaholic and ambitious person,now Unemployed and not motivated to rejoin corporate jobs....but 5 months of sitting idle has taught me that work/job was the only anchor ⚓ in life holding the structure.... Whatever grind or effort done in 20 was for comfort in later years of life but the future is fragile.... Sometimes one can lose all motivation at a certain phase of life , while he may be busy building that in an earlier phase..

So how does one proceed , further if all structures or variables or motives he was running behind in his 20's have gone and No new motivation seems ahead...

Sitting idle or taking a break also feels guilty.... And though not much ambitious about the future, it haunts, to waste time or give up on life....Not able to get the mind right , not able to see further through all of it...

Not the relationship post..... apologies for that....

While going through mindless scrolling through YouTube, I came across the latest video by warikoo....Though I rarely watched social media during the Career phase but now the unemployed guy has too much idle time....

So yeah about the video.... Everybody has been sold a dream or conditioned with while growing up.... Do that Life will be set, Achieve this much and you can live peacefully...Achieve this and you'll match your parents or family or relatives expectations.... Do that and you'll do Aish ( which was a lie ).

So I just want to listen to the few dreams you were sold and whether you achieved it and Find it worth it....

And More Importantly Were you happy achieving It.....

Apologies for the post in advance..

While scrolling through YouTube videos came across a video regarding the happiness index ranking of Finland and Denmark...

It reminded me of conversations I ever had with the Foreigners during travels or treks....They are different in their upbringing maybe but they do live happily or with more freedom.... Maybe I am wrong and it's over generalization but it seems something is wrong and it's not just a specific generation or age group but in general , our way of experiencing life is somewhat different maybe backward ....

So many of you might have travelled with foreigners or lived abroad, what's the main reason you all noticed which could have improved....

Not a relationship post...so apologies 😔...

Just wanted to know how unemployed folks in their 30's managing their idle time and what keeps them motivated....
