When your best still isn't good enough. What is my motivation to keep going?

Rarely do I feel better after talking to anyone in my life about my problems. Still I'm left with the same issues: I'm lonely, anxious, depressed, feeling like no one understands me. I dedicated my life to being the best guitar player I can possibly be but I still feel unappreciated and it hasn't gotten me anywhere. At this point I don't care if I lose my apartment, my car and most of possessions. Where is my motivation? No oneĀ  is helping with any words of encouragement. It's not like I have a loving wife or kids at home to give me a reason to keep going. What the hell is the point? If I had known I would be living like this as a teen I probably would have went ahead and killed myself. Am I destined to continue living like this being lonely and miserable for rest of my life? What would the point of that be and why would anyone want to live like that?

I just wish I could get a break. Most of my life I've been nothing but kind, supportive and helpful to the best of my ability and not getting much in return. I can't help but feel a little bitter.

"the rich man is just as unhappy as the poor man" typically it doesn't matter what your goals are theres a journey and thats what life is about it's the journey do you feel achievement and fulfilment when you reach your goals? yes but it's only superficial cuz the purpose was filled which leaves you with nothing again so ai for the next goal and you'll have purpose again another journey to enjoy more life has to show you and who says you have to achieve your goals this instant? take time to stop and smell the flowers take in the sites and learn from the circumstances life has thrown your way theres no rush but be prepared for hard times always cuz life is unpredictable you'll have great times and you'll have terrible times and thats by design as theres not a happy without a sad
