These constant pipe dreams and inability to focus on anything is not normal and you need to see a therapist.

If I do go up to Alva, I will try to get into a low-rent apartment around town.

Nope. You have a new plan, dream and goal every day. This is not normal behavior and you need to fix it.

May I ask the forum a question?  Anybody who wants to respond feel free?

Why am I not encouraged to follow my dreams?  Am I somehow not allowed to follow my dreams?  Every time I mention something I hear people constantly saying "it's impossible", "don't try it", "you're wasting your time", "it's a pipe dream", etc.

I have made many mistakes, but it doesn't mean I have no right to pursue my dreams.

Have you heard of the term called "change"?  My plans are not completely different each time, they are evolving.  I don't know if you realize, but the Peace Corps is related to foreign missions.  Yes, I need to find one thing and stick to it, but to think that it is somehow not normal to still be searching for one's calling is ludicrous

Which dream, the pastor, the Rainbow system guy, the architect, The Utahan, the Peace corps, the Maisha rep, the church planter, the devoted husband caring for a disabled wife and her mammy, dell guy, parks department guy, weight loss guy, which one is it Jeff.

You didn't answer my question.  Have you heard of someone still searching for their calling, and throwing out ideas out loud?

Your thought patterns are sabotaging your life.  You are lacking in focus and worse yet not learning from your missteps. I think talking to someone will help you.

Because it's is actually important I'll break my vow of update silence and explain this one for you. (And yeah all these gifs has a specific message I'm trying to make, although admittedly some are so abstract I'm not really expecting anyone get them).

The net symbolizes your goals.

The jumping man is you.

His rolls of fat are your rolls of fat and also symbolizes your numerous habits that are unhealthy for you mentally and physically.

The mat is your dependency on others because you're unable to take care of yourself.

EDIT: And just so we're clear I'll go ahead and connect the dots between these concepts. If you try to keep your eye on the prize without solving the problems that are holding you back you'll fail and nothing will change. Get your day to day life in order before you even think about what your plans will be more than like a year from now. If you can't even motivate yourself to walk around the block how do you think you'll motivate yourself to focus on your education and graduate at the time you're expecting, let alone keep up with all the other things you want to do after that?

I do not have the money to see a super-expensive therapist who cares nothing for me except my wallet, but will charge me out the wazoo for a 5 minute session and prescribe me some expensive medication.  That's not going to happen.  That is not needed.  The only way I would go is if I were guaranteed to not have to pay a single solitary dime.

So now you are frugal with other people's money? Grow up, get your $hit together and stop making excuses.

What you don't realize, BK, is my life is in order.  I do have things together.  No body believes me, but I seriously do have things together.  I've got my God to fill in the gaps.  One thing I know is certain, the duration of my life will be focused on foreign missions (a very noble and non-egotistical endeavor).  It just remains a question of which capacity do I enter the mission field?  Do I enter through the Peace Corps (which is foreign missions) or do I enter directly through Maisha?  That part, I don't have figured out, yet.  As far as my weight goes, would people please give me a freakin' chance!!!!!  I am going to a Dietitian next Wednesday, but not a single post has been made on that.  Everybody is saying I am doomed and have absolutely no hope.  Where is the encouragement in that?  Give me a chance!!!!

Well, if you're going to be all explicit about it, I guess I'll go along as well, with regard to my picture of the wallaby and the toilet paper:



The wallaby is Bushie.  The house it's in is Kenya.  It has to use the bathroom, but can't figure out how to use the toilet, or toilet paper, and just keeps looking through roll after rool of toilet paper for its calling.  It's not realizing that it's a wallaby, should probably be outside hopping around to lose weight, should focus on dreams that it's more suited to that don't have to do with Kenya, and that it's just making life more difficult for those who need to use the bathroom right now, and for whom there won't be any toilet paper left.

So, my dreams and my calling to go to Kenya should not be pursued?  My life will end up in Kenya, that's not a question anymore.  The only question is when do I go.  Do I go right away (as in 2015), or do I start with the Peace Corps and go to Kenya when I get home)?

I have everything figured out toward the last of this decade in beyond.  Like I just told Mr. Morden, my life will end up in Kenya.  That is no longer in doubt, and has not been in doubt for sometime.  The only question remains is when do I go.  Do I go to Kenya right away (as in 2015-2016) or do I start off in the Peace Corps, gain International Living Experience, and go to Kenya say in 2018?  The long term plan is set in stone, the short term plan is what I'm still trying to figure out.
