Living A Purposeful Life
“At 28-years-old my goals were met,” said Jeff Fray, Psychologist/Consultant. “I had my doctorate and had built up a practice that included 8 or 9 counselors. That was when I realized I was living life on a treadmill.”
While browsing around the intarweb this evening I came across an interesting article – Living the Purposeful Life, quoted above – that made me stop and think about what I am actually doing with my life. Until the recent past I have dedicated a good portion of my life to making money. I’ve probably made and lost more money in my short life than most people will ever make and the one thing I have figured out so far is that money isn’t real. It holds no intrinsic value. Granted, it’s a useful commodity to have but does a surplus of it actually make your life better?
So today I’m finally declaring my quest to figure out what I’m supposed to do with my life, set some plans and move forward with them. True, I may fail. That’s never stopped me before though and I don’t think it will stop me this time.
