What to Do When You Don't Know What To Do

Lately, it seems everyone I speak with is feeling
a bit lost. And it's not just about the economy
either! I hear comments like, "I want to travel
but don't really know where I want to go - or
if its even safe" or "I still don't know what
I want to be when I grow up"

Mind you, these are all people in their 40 plus
years!

The book - Purpose Driven Life - was a big hit
because people thought it would show them their
purpose in life.

I read it out of curiosity and didn't see where
the 'purpose' could be found.

I'm not bashing the book by any means, its just
that for me it has to be laid out very clearly.
Like a blueprint on life! Now if someone makes
one of those they could be rich!

The reason I bring this whole topic up is that
when people come me with their chronic sickness,
I usually ask them what their purpose is. Because
I've learned that if people don't know what to
do in their life, there's really no sense in
waking up in the morning except to pay the bills.

Now that's a boring life!

Once I can see a persons gifts or help them
see what their strengths are, I can show them
ways to use those gifts.

So if you're struggling with not knowing what
to do - figure out what you like to do. Talking
with people or not talking to people? Being
outdoors versus being indoors? Living in a house
versus apartment?

All these factors seem small, yet they can make
a huge difference in your life!

If you're a talker for example and you're doing
paper work at your job, how are your skills
being used? Not very effectively! You need to
be in a job where you're interacting with
people!

If you're an outdoorsy type person and yet stuck
working in a cubicle, you'll be miserable. If
you feel miserable, your immune system can get
low and the next thing is constant sore throats,
colds, fevers, etc.

Get in a quite place this week to see what your
strengths are...then be ready to make a change!
More on that next time!

Great health always!
