Must. Do. ASAP.

I stumbled upon a good piece of advice lately while reading a friend's blog who got it from an internet site. It something I must do ASAP.

On how to find one's life purpose, here's what I found from www.eHow.com.

STEP 1. Take some time to reflect on what it is that you love to do both in your personal and professional life. Make a list of all of your passions and note which ones you are actually participating in at this point in your life.

STEP 2. Recognize what makes you unhappy and what areas of your life don't feel right to you. For example, your job may be unfulfilling or you may be in an unhappy relationship. Write these thoughts down, as well.

STEP 3. Think about the type of person that you want to be and make a list of the goals and dreams you'd like to fulfill. Consider all of the possibilities and don't be afraid to dream big.

STEP 4. Read the notes you've made on what you love to do, what you don't like about your present life, what kind of person you hope to be, and what dreams you'd like to fulfill. Your unique life purpose may be a combination of all of the passions and goals that you've listed that go along with the type of person you want to become.

STEP 5. Begin making changes to work toward your life purpose. For example, if you've decided that you're not happy with your current career and that it doesn't fulfill your personal values or dreams, make a plan of action to transition into a new career that you're passionate about.

I was lucky also to find a quote from one of my all-time favorite movies, Under the Tuscan Sun. It's a good quote to reflect on during times I feel lost.

"They say they built the train tracks over the Alps between Vienna and Venice before there was a train that could make a trip. They built it anyway. They knew one day, a train would come." -Frances Mayes, Under The Tuscan Sun

Hopefully, after some "me time," I can get my life back on track and maybe even write again.
