At times in our lives, we reach a point where we feel
incomplete – lost.
It can be triggered by-
* Friends moving away
* Our kids growing up and moving out
* Divorce
* Loss of a job, especially if it was a career
* Death of a parent, friend or spouse
As teenagers and young adults, we’re focused on fitting
in
with peers and constructing our lives.
Then kids come along and we focus on their needs. At the same
time, most of us have parents that need care.
Then suddenly, we’re left standing in a field – not knowing
which way to go. Many of us have never really taken the
time
to think about what YOU want. What is it that would
make YOU
happy?
Many people just shrug and resort to somehow passing the time
until they die.
How do you be yourself, for yourself? Most people have no idea.
You’ve been so busy building your life around what others think
and need, and trying to keep them happy that you’ve been lost in
life’s shuffle.
Instead of focusing on the way of life you’re lost, focus on
what doors that opens up for you. What can you do that you
always wanted to do, but couldn’t because of the demands you
used to be under?
Here’s some of the things I hear –
* Start an eBay business
* Write a book
* Paint a picture
* Redecorate
* Travel
* Gardening
* Read more
* Go back to school
What do you want to do? For You?
Go for it!
