Question #4012: no skills no passion

[AskSatanOperator]

i have a friend who keeps becoming very depressed because they say they have no hobbies, passions in life. They try hard but don't stick with anything for long because if it goes wrong they drop it immediately if they arent perfect at it. I really want to know how to help them, I hate seeing them suffer because they are a good person!! One very dear to me. I want to help them find some encouragement to want to stick with things and see them through!

Hobbies and passions are very important to keep us motivated and enjoy life. Your friend might be very low in fire element, or have other indicators in his chart.

There is only so much that we can do to help others. These things come from within. But you can try to encourage your friend to stick with something, perhaps exercise, maybe even something the 2 of you can do together.

And thinking we have to be perfect at something is the wrong attitude to have. Point out to him all the people who are mediocre at a hobby but they do it for fun anyway.

Look at their natal chart, see their affinities and possible natural talents. Maybe guide them to that.

I don't think there is much to do except explain to him that with his attitude he will never achieve anything and will never enjoy life, effectively wasting it.

He is the only one who can change this, but it is his problem and he will have to figure it out for himself.

I think you can help your friend if you see something that he likes, it may be something that causes him positive emotions, such as joy.

When you see something that brings him real human, spiritual joy, you can help him move in this direction.

As a child, I never had such good friends as you for your friend!
