What Do I Want?
It seems like a simple enough
question. However, I spend untold number
of months/years trying come up with an answer.
It is not a question of wanting something in a material sense. It goes much deeper. What do I want to do so that I can say I
served and helped make this a better place?
I am not looking to do something for
the recognition. No, I ask what I can do
to just add value and not just consume in this world. I know that there are untold number of
organizations that want and need volunteers.
At times I ask myself if I am looking
for something that is not there. Or, am
I even asking myself the right question? Should I look at it from other
viewpoint, that is, what is it that I don’t want? I have done a fair amount of thinking on that
too.
I have found that my desires have
decreased with time. The bucket list
gets smaller. Not because there is not
the time, but because what I thought meant a lot to me has in fact proven
otherwise.
It is important to understand that I
have a great life. I have nothing to
complain about. I am extremely grateful
for all I have. This is not any type of
depression that I have.
I just continue to search for the
answer to one of the fundamental questions in life.
