decide what the hell I would like to do with the rest of my life

I am still stunned at the number of people who have clicked on this headiong that I typed however long ago! It’s scary, sad & great all at the same time to realize how much this resonates with so many!

As for me, I’m trying to focus more on the journey rather than the destination. Taking baby steps when I need to, trying to find moments of joy & trying to push myself out of my comfort zone.

Sometimes it works, sometimes I feel like I’m still trying to get out of the quicksand!

It’s been a while since I checked in on my list …. the last entry I was surprised at 201 people choosing to use the headline I’d picked … and now there’s 1,617!! Lots of people looking for answers!

How am I doing with this? Well, these days I have a MUCH clearer understanding of what does make me happy, what brings me joy and satisfaction. I have yet to figure out how to bring more of that into my life however.

I am working on looking for another job; for me so much of my day is spent working and to be working in a job that brings misery makes no sense to me. I hope that finding something that gives me greater purpose and allows me to be more ME will help give more direction in my life.

I think if I can ease some of the frustrations I can begin to appreciate the journey more rather than feeling so much like I need to get to a destination.

Easier said than done though!

I started this topic as a brand spanking new one a while back & haven’t checked in on it in a while & am rather stunned to see 201 have added it to their lists!

I know there’s some similar topics, but this wording to me (and obviously many others) really says it just right!

It is SUCH a big frustration and such a big mystery!

Is the answer that I’m not supposed to know? That I just keep trying different things? Is it a myth that we all have some thing we are called to do? SHOULD I know the answer to this?

I know some certainly find their passion & find their calling – some earlier than others. Many never do. Just because I feel I need to explore this & feel frustrated about it, does that mkean I necessarily even HAVE something that is the “right” thing?

late night babbling!

Curious to know what helped you figure this out? I’m assuming trial & error, but I guess I’m wondering whether it was more of a self-discovery thing or if yu saught counselling or just generally what your path was?

Thanks!
