you actually think you have figured out your life and the direction you want to go and then you realize you know nothing! what happened?

I’m having a really hard time with this. Maybe I need to do more research, or try the bullet point tactic.

- stand up for what’s right
- defend the defenseless
- protect the dignity of all persons
- equal rights; justice
- fight oppression in all forms
- share
- be a better person and set an example
- love (don’t know if I can manage the “unconditional” variety)
- reason and virtue, truth and justice
- fight lie

My mission seems to involve a lot of fighting and standing up and defending…I still have not gotten this right.

In the form of a “10 commandments”...I always think better in bullet points than prose.

My mission is to be authentic, real, honest and help others be likewise. I also know that I do my best to think clearly, and help others to think clearly too.

Living with Meaning 6 months ago

I’ve been feeling a call to live with more meaning lately. The feelings of emptiness I have because of my lack of an intimate relationship and children remind me that my meaning needs to come from within, not without. Even if I marry and have a family, they can’t be the source of my meaning – it’s not good for them or for me.

I feel I should be volunteering again, and perhaps considering work that has more meaning for me, even though I’ve only had this job a year and it is a good job. I want to love my job, go to work energized, to have a job that I’d do even if no one was paying me.

It’s scary to think that the result of this process might mean a new job or career, especially since I’m considering buying a house. But this feeling of hopelessness and meaninglessness washes over me with too much frequency. Life is too short to not be living with meaning, with purpose. And maybe the result of this process won’t be a new job, but new volunteer work and a sense of overall meaning and purpose.

What would people say about me at my funeral? What would I like them to say? What kind of work could I be doing that would attract the kind of partner I want to have (like the man I met recently going to work for Doctors Without Borders)? I can help people, love people more than I do now. I think writing a personal mission statement would help me focus on the actions needed to live with meaning.
