Awakening Path - Article: What Dreams May Come

"People say that what we're all seeking is the meaning of life...

I think that what we're really seeking is the experience of being alive."

...Joseph Campbell

Most people, at some point in their lives, question whether they are on the right path. Often, sadly, it isn't until they are faced with trauma or death that they stop to ask the important questions:

"What is my life purpose?"

"What are my dreams?"

"Am I willing to make them happen?"

In case you haven't asked yourself these questions in awhile, take a minute now to think about where you are. Do any of these sound like that familiar voice in your head?

* Are you spending a lot of time doing things you don't wish to do, in places where you don't want to be, because you feel you have to (i.e. working at a job you don't like because you need the paycheck)?

* Are you feeling restless and unfulfilled?

* Do you feel like you haven't reached your full potential in the most important areas of your life?

* Do you frequently say, "There just aren't enough hours in the day"?

* Do you rationalize and make excuses such as "I know what I need to do to be happy, but...", or "First I need to... before I can..."?

* Have you abandoned a dream that - deep down - you still long to realize?

Regardless of your circumstances - personal or financial - you probably desire more. You may have a nagging feeling that you have not accomplished all you can, and that fulfillment, happiness and satisfaction are just beyond your reach. Many people are trapped in the same cycle and begin to see their purpose in life is to struggle and survive.

But here is the newsflash - life is not about merely surviving - life is about living! It's your life and you deserve to live it to the fullest.
