Purpose

Ahhh...

Yes, the small dose of freedom just caught me. Yes, ladies and gents, I just finished my last assignment of my last semester. I probably have half a day of a break before a very busy Saturday.

I really hate these kinds of times, the transition periods. Where one does not really know where I'll be in a few months time. Whatsmore, there is so much to do to wrap up the current phase. Making things worse, is the small nagging doubt of whether deciding to wrap up the current phase in life is the right decision?

Sometimes I wish I get clearer instructions or signs of where I need to be, but then I realised that is some guy came down from a cloud and told me exactly where I need to be or how I should live, life's gonna be rather restrictive and boring. I mean, half the fun and learning process in life is to make mistakes. I guess the trick is to make less and less as you get older.

TANGENT!! -- For those who may be interested in finding out your purpose in life, I suggest a method I picked up from a blog I read from time to time.
1) Get a paper or lap top
2) Write on the top '#Name# Purpose in Life'
3) Write down whether comes to mind! Dun think so much!
4) Stop when you write something that brings out so much emotion in you that it causes u to tear.
5) Yup, you either have hit the nail on the head or are really close!

Disclaimer: This works best depending on whether you are the kind of person who is really interested in searching for your purpose (not the same as someone who just says s/he is interested). It also works best if you have already attempted to look for your purpose in other ways.

Ok.

'All work and no play makes Joa a dull boy'. Yessree, I think that kinda describes my life atm. Which is kinda sad. I remember watching this movie starring Topher Grace, Patrick Swayze and Scarlett Johanson about a young executive (Grace) dating a more experienced employee's (Swayze)daughter (Johanson), the title escapes me atm, grrr...

Newayz, Grace's character was so consumed by work that he had no other life besides it and even lost his fiance over it. He went so far as to invite himself into Swayze's home to have dinner so that he did not have to go home to an empty house and empty Porsche. Yes, I wanna be successful and focused on my purpose, but I think i'm missing out on the colours of life atm. I mean, success and living abundantly is not exclusive. Hmmm....
