I was brought up with the notion that what others teach us or bring to us in one form or another has a great deal to do with the meaning of our existence.

In that way I have always looked at myself through that lense. What lessons do I teach others, how can I be a good role model..

What kind of impact do I want my journey to have had, can I have more than one career that impacts and affectively meets my desire to help others?

What do you desire to do? Is there something work wise that seems like it would be too good to be a job?

People tend to find meaning in interests/hobbies, helping, healing, growing, gardening, raising animals, family, community, religion/spirituality, groups (sports and political etc), education, career, social and sexuality.

It is quite the world we live in atm and it feels like it’s such a pause and fast forward kind of world. I really value your question because it really gave me a chance to consider what it means to me.

Sometimes we just need to start getting out into the world, start with something, then our ability to decipher what we really desire starts to become crystal clear.

This is such a deep thought, thank you so much. Yeah the world isn't the best but it is what it is, so all we can do is do good hoping others will see the good and try to do it too. And to do that i have to try and do things, then if i truly listen to myself i know if I'm doing good or bad. I want to thank you again for your comment, i will keep it in my heart.

"All i have of myself isn't worth a piece of what you have of myself" said an Italian song, now i understand it. We are worth what we leave to others
