I'm hurting, in pain, depressed, blue, spiritless, & discouraged. Can you PLEASE try to help a troubled soul.

I am so sad. Everyday I wake up searching for my purpose here on earth. I already decided I was going to help people.. aid them.. maybe join the red cross and i will.. i am working a part time job to aid a child in a different country this summer before i start my sophomore year of college. anyway.. i am becoming a midwife nurse to aid babies and mothers... but my dream is becoming a hollywood actress.. because it is what i have wanted to do all my life.. and not only that.. my salary can help me aid a lot of people... but im discouraged because of all the competition out there and i have never done anything.. i cry because i want to travel the world.. and have the chace to help people.. individuals. i dont know why i want to help so much i just want to.. and it makes me upset im not anyone and cant help... my fav. actress is Angelina Jolie because she basically reflects what i want to do in life.. but she has a chance to help and i dont... sometimes i pretend i have the money to help.

i pretend that i will make it.. only to be put down by family members... because even though i can barely aid myself i want to help others.....
but the truth is i have enough even though i am not even middle class in the usa.... i have enough.. i am wealthy.. considering the fact that many people accross the world can feed their families with just a dollar a day. i have enough.... im not dying... or in extreme poverty.. and people need help.. and i wanna help.. i wont save the world.. but i want to help.. i feel so bad i cant.. i dont wanna sound dramatic but please... take a look at the real world... and look beyond what u are taught everyday.. this world gets harder eveyday.. people are dying!

Thanx for all the comments! =]

EVERYONE has a purpose. I know how it feels to be depressed and hurt and want to do so much more than you are. But you need to know that God designed you JUST the way that you are, and He has a purpose for every minute of your life. I will never push a belief on anyone, but I feel the need to share the only thing that has ever helped me with those feelings, and that is God. Because of Him, I am NEVER alone. Because of what He promises in the Bible, I know that I have a purpose:

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares, the Lord, plans to prosper you and NOT to harm you. To give you hope, and a future." --Jeremiah 29:11

Pray to Him..ask Him for the help and the motivation to do these things that you want to do. Ask him to show you the true happiness and joy that only He can give. It's the only way to ever feel fulfilled, is living for Him. I feel so much for you, because I have been in the place that you are in, and still am there sometimes, but that's when I have to stop and just say "God, my life is in your hands, I need a change." He knows what you need, and He'll never leave you where you can't handle it.

Also, try and focus on where you are now. Live in the present. If you spend your time daydreaming that you're somewhere else, you miss the journey of getting there. Each day is one step closer to your dream. Make the very most of it.

I hope this helps...take care.
