Begin RIGHT NOW......Give yourself the opportunity to go for it.....Make a list if it makes it easier, and look deep in your heart and seriously give thought to the things you want to do in the world and why.....If you want to be more active, be more active, if you want to do something more, JUST DO IT!

That's the wonderful part about life - you can be, have, do anything! Absolutely be, have, do ANYTHING!

You are on a very, very right track - this is the most essential existential question of all.

I admit it's not easy. I can share my experience. I was born....gifted. It opened every door to every university I wanted. I chose to study architecture. I became an architect. Not without drama - I have views of what architecture should be that contradict the academic mainstream. Because I entered college at only 15, I became an enfant terrible. Soon after, I started a company, and later sold it for a profit. In addition, I also paint- I have had several art exhibitions in art galleries. I invented an original mathematical algorithm. But all through it all, I have been restless...I always felt - this is not it. Over and over again. The passion was there..but the feeling of profound purpose - not!

For some people like me, it is a journey, leading to a destination. Only the last 2 months or so, i have at last the feeling I have found what I was meant to do.

I would say - Focus on yourself without even one negative thought. You came here with a purpose. Ask yourself what that purpose is. What can you do with almost ZERO EFFORT ? What comes to you as naturally as breathing? What is your ESSENTIAL NATURE? What are you inspired to be - RIGHT NOW?

With the last question, you get the answer right away. Start being that what you are meant to be. You get complete alignment and minimum inner contradictions. Rich or poor, you have both peace and inspiration.

You stop stressing about everything. You stop caring what people will think of you. Stressing puts you in an inferior position, makes you small, and the problem big.

Once you've found it, you've hit gold. A life rich in synchronicity will unfold....effortlessly, as life was meant to be.

Annie:
We all reach this point. Some of us more often then others. We tend to circle around the house a few times before we decide to enter. You already are on the journey and have been for your whole life. You are as individual as a fingerprint so to tell you in exactness where to go to be at the start point you want to find wouldn't describe the wonderful uniqueness of you only me. It will come to you if only for your wanting it.
To me it was a voice inside me in common with all, but different then the one I've known that defines the world in contrast. To me it's a call to service. I need not look to where to apply it...that part comes to me. Each act of service I give another is an act of service given to me........It's really quite a wonderful thing.

And Awesome is right - ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
( For me the big question was - which path would bring me a feeling of fulfilling my purpose in life. )
