How weird is it to open an e-mail and read exactly what you were already thinking but hadn’t formed into actual words? This was my Nightingale-Conant Motivational Quote Of The Day:
"Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have no goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in striving toward an important goal."
The thought is from Maxwell Maltz, and it is exactly what has been floating unformed in and out of my mind. I have several holes to fill, but I’ve been aware of an indistinct but familiar weightless emptiness lately. I’m good, and what I do is okay, but it’s not enough. It’s not creative enough and doesn’t use what talents I may have enough. It is time for a change. I just have to redefine what I want, and act despite the fear. Yikes!
Are you familiar with Po Bronson? While checking in books here at the library, I came across "What Should I Do With My Life?" This says it is the true story of people who answered the ultimate question. Perhaps you'd like to get it from your own library? Let me know if you like it.
