Well, for the past couple of months, I’ve been focused very hard on finding my purpose. I have found this endeavor way more challenging than I originally expected. I’ve been spending my morning dog walks just thinking about what I should be doing with my life. Last week, I spent on vacation (well, mostly) and I had a new revelation. How can you know what to do with your life if you don’t know what it is that makes you happy?
So I started down a new path… I came realize that my entire life is built around my family. I love them more than anything, but I have to live my entire life based on serving their needs first. I’ve gotten so good at this, that I actually forgot what makes me happy. It seems like such a silly question until you actually stop and analyze it. So that’s exactly what I’ve been starting to do. Keep in mind, this is a new endeavor, so if you have any good advice on this topic, please share it.
- Trying to remember my life before a a family (wife & kids). Was I happy then? what was I doing?
- What activities do I really love to do. BY that I mean, do I do that I can lose myself in for a few hours and not even notice the time is gone.
- What makes me smile? What makes me laugh?
- What makes me feel really alive?
None of these are as easy as I would like, but it’s what I’m currently working through. Maybe once I know what makes me happy, I can figure out how to add more of that to my life and get a better idea of what I’m really meant to be doing. Food for thought.
