When is the last time you got good news? Really good news that you pumped your fist and audibly said, "Yes!"
It has been awhile for me. I haven't had that "Yes!" feel in some time. And why? Why am I not getting that feeling? What's missing? What am I not quite getting out of life?
I think I am missing a sense of adventure. A sense of importance in what I am doing day to day.
I quit my last job because I was feeling that way; though it ended up being one of the best decisions of my life, I in no way can afford to do such a drastic thing again. And I am not saying that I want to quit my job. I guess I am saying that I need to find a new goal. A new objective, a sense of purpose beyond work and training for the marathon.
So what will it be? Climbing a mountain? Publishing a book again? Starting my own business? Going back to school?
I don't know. And I think that is what is bothering my as of late. Not knowing what I want to do at the age of 32. It is scary and I don't like it.
The question that comes to mind: where is my greatness? Where will I best succeed?
"Everyone has one book in them. Almost no one has two."
And that right there is my greatest fear.
