Signposts
When I visited a library today, I was reminded signs exist all around us to indicate we are exactly where we're supposed to be and doing what we're meant to do.
I met people who were searching for meaning in their lives after major life changes. One man confided to me that he had recently divorced and was struggling to seek out new streams of inspiration. I spoke with him about the benefits of web blogs and forums. I also suggested books of possible interest. A woman I met was also seeking ways to stimulate her reflection process. I was able to help her as well. Each person I meet who is open to receiving information realizes ideas often come along in their own time. We simply need to be ready, observant and willing to perceive the things that can help us. We need to be courageous enough to let go of our fears in order to move ahead.
Even if you don't yet know it, a thought, talent or activity represents who you are at the core in this period of your life. If you haven't yet found that, clues exist all around you. As you explore interests and ways you can connect with the world, you will discover the kinds of things that boost your energy, stimulate your mind, peak your curiosity and inspire your imagination. Discovering and connecting with such things is a useful practice. In time, as you feel more comfortable, you can decide how you wish to integrate these things into your life.
