I believe I've procrastinated on a lot of goals and dreams myself to the point where I would no longer considered them possible. After reading your post, I'm sure I would like to continue to persue my goals and joint a male modeling agency and dare to dream of becoming a successful male model.

Thanks! I think we all tend to reevaluate our lives every so often, whether it's after a particularly big change in life or after hitting some other milestone or plateau even. Things can be uncertain for a while, but hopefully we follow our passions and get back on track. Thanks for your comment! HI Cin. Thanks!

Everyone needs to go through a phase in their life that they must figure out what is the most important thing to them. It is after such moments when our purpose in life is much more clearer and everything we do can actually make sense to us. Great reading, thanks for the article! Very excellent and thoughful post.

That's a common problem and one that I have to deal with, too. There are so many choices in modern life and such a deluge of information, it's hard for us to find some sort of stable place in the midst of it all. I think the best thing is to focus on our goals and move toward them one little step at a time. As far as the website part of the comment, when you get your own blog you can put the address of it there so other readers can check it out. Thanks for visiting! Hi Bekah.

My problem is too meany things I like and No Passion for any of it. I know I am good with kids, animals, and old people. I am very intersted with the spiritual side of life, but I am so scatter brained I have no idea how to put it to use. Also have no like minded person around. The internet has too meany choices. Did I do the website part right? Good points. My problem is too meany things I like and No Passion for any of it. I know I am good with kids, animals, and old people.

I agree with you about finding meaning in something. And, how do you know when you've found meaning? When you <em>feel</em> something. That's where the passion comes in. Passion is definitely something contagious, too. It's born to be shared and spread around. Thanks for your kind comments and for stopping by. Hi Maria.

Are you really doing what’s the optimal thing right now? 2. What do you want to be accomplishing while you are here on Earth? 3. Are you living the life you want to be living? And I can agree with you completely about seeing the greater vision and going towards that. I suppose really it gets back to what one can achieve through one's special talents and interests. And sticking it out, trying to produce things that get seen by the world and that are meaningful of course. I think that if one finds meaninfg in something- a poem, a play, a book, then others will to. And even therefore, if it is one written by oneself, others will find meaning there too - Its just waiting for opportunity, or rather creating it that counts - and the process. Bye for now. Best of luck with your writing endeavours. Kind regards Maria Ray

I just finished up a degree that I've been working on for years and now I'm wondering what the heck I'm going to do. I basked in the glow of accomplishment for about five minutes before I started thinking about what's next. Thanks for stopping by, Noah. I'm looking forward to reading your post.

I think you said it right that it is all about passion and finding someting you love to do. I think a few interesting problems are that there are two many choices which make life hard. I will write about this soon. Also, sometimes its hard for people (including me) to figure out what they are passionate about. Lastly, one of the hard part about setting goals is that you are aren't satisfied after you complete them sometimes. My stepfather wanted to be a successful engineer and he expected that to give him a good life. It did and he accomplished it but now he is wanting more.. just some thoughts. nice post! Ray,
