I received some feedback on my latest entries asking, "are you depressed?" After re-reading them, I guess I kind of come across that way… but really, I'm the opposite of depressed. In fact, I feel free, motivated, and ready to take on the world. I'm just trying to figure out the best approach to do that, and am asking a lot of internal questions.
I'm 25 years old. I have a wife and family. I have a job that allows me to live comfortably and support my family. I have a house, 2 cars, etc. What all of this gives me… is a freedom.
I have a big opportunity to do something with the rest of my life. I also have a big opportunity to waste the rest of my life watching TV, going through the motions, doing nothing; which I think a lot of people do, probably not intentionally. But I am going to intentionally try and make the most of this opportunity that I have now. I want to squeeze everything I can out of the time I have.
How do I do that? Those are my questions. What do I believe? What are worthwhile causes? What are good ideas? What are bad ideas? What can I do to help someone else? How can I be a better me?
So, I'm searching for answers to my questions. I'm reading. I'm blogging. I'm thinking. I'm listening.
I'm not sure what will come of all of this. It could be a business I start. It could be a different approach I take to my job. It could be a place I volunteer. It could be some people I meet. It could be an idea I come up with. It could be becoming a better father/husband. It could be just finding out more about myself. Whatever it ends up being, I feel I'm taking the first step in a long journey on a bright and beautiful path. I'm excited.
