Anyone else wants to do something meaningful before ctb?

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Like helping other people maybe financially or make something big before ctb so we could die at peace with ourselves (not happy). I feel the need to do sth great before I die, I am going to leave this world I must do sth good so people could remember with a smile.

I spend years trying to do something great. For that reason I forgot enjoying life because I was too much focused about doing something great.

I started with cancer. I bought hundreds of books about the subject. After that I keep purchasing tons of books about different subjects. I think I was too obsessed with doing something great.

If I'd have been less concerned with being great and more okay with setting reasonable goals and working toward them, I doubt I'd be in the position I'm in. I think those subconscious pressures to do great things we put on ourselves are a big part of the problem. The only great thing I want to do at this point is to ctb in a smart and responsible way that's as respectful and efficient as possible.

Exactly. The problem is bigger when you want to do tons of great things.
For example I didn't go to university because of that reason. I assume I was too obsesed about doing something great.

I'm actually thinking of rescuing some kittens and find them a forever home.

I got really into campaigning and actually did manage to do something very meaningful

I'm so depressed that it means nothing and I just beat myself up for all the bad things I've done instead

Just being happy in ourselves is the big prize not achievement

Try an help financially and have a special memorial for my sister.

i think i want to at least help the people who want to change this world (instead of abandoning it). if i can't do that, then maybe i'll just be the best friend/offspring i possibly can to people.

I will be leaving life with a lot of unfulfilled ambition. I mean, nothing too extravagant or grandiose. Just to have a PhD and a clean bill of health. How things ended up turning out sits poorly with me. I put up with years of suffering... For this?

Yeah, I'd like to do at least one thing "meaningful," whatever that word really means. I just don't have the energy for executing it. My entire life has been a complete and utter waste in juxtaposition of what it could have (and more likely!) been if things just happened slightly differently.

I wish I had the motivation but I'm just so tired I can't do anything

I used to want to do great things, but I've come to the realization that the only goals that are realistically obtainable are so mundane that they aren't worth putting any effort into.
