getting to know me


Yesterday I was at work and this man came in and struck up a conversation.  Mostly he was just hitting on me, but he did ask that question.  The question is one that people ask me all the time.  "What is your dream job?" "What do you really want to do for a living?" "What is your passion?"


This is my nightmare question.  I dread being asked this question and try to steer the people in my life away from this line of questioning.  I don't know the answer.  I've lived too long for others.  I've had one dream for as long as I can remember...FREEDOM!!!  Now that I have it, more or less, I have no idea what to do with it.  I don't know what I want now. 


I have no dreams.  Any advice?

Well, I know from personal experience the more I work my program, the more I find myself.
Years of giving myself away to all the wrong people, didn't leave me with much, but slowly I am finding me and what my passion is and what drives me.


My suggestion is to keep working a program.


Much Love,

I agree - through working the program you can find out more about yourself and what you want for yourself. I have the same problem sometimes, and I try to keep the "Just for Today" card in mind when that happens....try to remind myself to "stay in today." Dreams and goals will unfold naturally, I think, if I can do that. Hang in there! - Hope.
