Finding your Way to the Sea: Rediscovering your Life’s Purpose

My ideas outnumber the available minutes in the day. Artistic possibilities inundate my mind—floods of future fun I could follow.

I wonder: How can I swim to the top of this madness? Which waves should I ride the crest of and which should I let pass on by? 

Then amid my mental wrestling, contemplation creates a comfortable cove—a much-needed rest from the intensity of thought that threatens to drown me.

Do you ever find yourself conflicted with multiple creative desires?

If you feel the waves of choice pounding you, consider regular times of contemplation to sort through your conflicting desires.

Imagine you are floating in a mountain stream that winds its way to the sea. Go back to what you last really enjoyed or consider something new. Follow that stream of thought until you see some actual steps you can take to pursue the idea.

I guarantee that taking this time out of the hustle and bustle of life will result in a clearer purpose. Try writing about what you love until you connect with something you can float in. Dare to live differently.
