What important thing do you want to do with your life?
Do you want to make a million dollars?
Do you want to create a new idea that spreads across the country or the world?
Do you want to save a life?
Do you want to make a life?
Do you want to be remembered by many or cherished by few?
Do you want to write the Great American Novel?
Do you want a million friends on Facebook?
Do you want love eternal?
Do you want to found a religion?
Do you want to determine the meaning of life?
Do you want to disprove someone else's meaning?
Do you want to create or destroy?
More importantly: What are you going to do about what you want to do?
On an unrelated note:
How do you like where you are? Are you constantly complaining about how much your current situation sucks and that if you could just move somewhere else, just go somewhere else, just be sent somewhere else, things would be better?
If you stop to think about where you are and what is wrong with things and why you hate what is going on SO much, you will probably realize, if you are at all observant, if you have any perception, that it is not the place.
It is the person.
The person determines the enjoyment and the annoyance. Of course, the people you are around are going to affect how you like where you are, but you create your own world. You create your own mess.
You are the creator of your own life.
The flip side of that is that you are also the destroyer.
Moving to a new place can be cathartic. But if you soon begin to feel the same pangs and longings and pains and hates in the new place as you did the old, then the realization should strike true. You are the problem.
Your outlook is the issue.
Your way of perceiving needs to change.
Perception is almost everything. Substance is required, some of the time. But perception is where the ideas come from; it is where people turn to when they think.
You don't think in facts. You think in ideas and opinions.
You don't know about cats. You know if you like them or if you hate them or if you are allergic to them.
Some of this last bit is rambling.
I'm tired and I want to go to bed.
The nature of things is that you will always want what you don't have and you will always be disappointed when you get it. Despite that, I want to exist outside of my job and my bank account. I want to be known by someone for something. I want to be together with other people and, above all, I do not want to be alone.
Writing the Great American Novel would be a bonus.
