It seems I've been saying the tittle of this entry a lot lately...at work, at home and to myself! I went to a "find your passion" meeting the other night. It was suppose to help me find clarity and purpose in my journey through life. Essentially what I learned, after 3 hours of struggling, was that I need to "feel good about myself". WOW....I paid how much for this! (Man, they saw me coming.) After much soul searching and time alone with my thoughts I have decided that what I really want to do in life is help people, inspire people, teach my son the importance of "doing the right things". My life is great. I have an awesome wife, a perfect son (most days!) and I have a great job that I really enjoy going to everyday. Although I don't make much money doing what I do....I get the opportunity to help people everyday, I get the opportunity to inspire people everyday. That is very important. I can't for the life of me imagine doing anything else at this point in my life. I want to learn new things. I wanted to lose weight done it (-80 lbs!) I wanted to run a marathon....done it (this year will be #3) I wanted to be a triathlete....done it (numerous times!). What do I want to learn next? Not sure. I have been thinking of learning meditation. I was thinking of getting into yoga more. I have been thinking I'd like to learn about the stars, landscaping, far off worlds, other cultures, religion, the paranormal.....I have so many interests.
At times I think there is something wrong with me. Why can't I just pick a path and stick to it? I know that I put way too much pressure on myself to figure these things out, especially the career thing. I have decided that my future career path is simply yet to be determined. I am not going to stand in it's way. I will embrace it as it unfolds before me. I am lucky in that I really do enjoy my job. My big hang up is $$...but would I feel better about myself if I made way more money? Not likely. Maybe the "passion People" were right...I need to feel good about where I'm at....once I feel good about that good things will happen. Pass the next fortune cookie please!
