We, humans, do come to the point where we have
satisfied certain needs, and we start looking for
meaning. I know a number of men who have hit this
point
in their forties.
Where to find it and what is the meaning? Maybe the
first place to look is the most obvious – inside
yourself.
How will we find it and how will we recognize it when
we find it?
Here is an idea.
- Do what you want to do (remember that you are
responsible for your actions)?
- Trust yourself and do it (you cannot fail - there
are no failures – there are only learning
experiences).
- Maybe you have some experiences that you have
to get out of your system (I had to have the
experience of having a Porsche – one of those
boyhood things). Do it, tick it off and move on.
- Go from experience to experience – you will find
that there are always new ideas of things to do
bubbling up.
- There will be times when you feel stuck.
- Being stuck for a while is fine, but not to be
overdone – life is too short – so do something
(anything) to get moving again.
- After doing this and that for some time, and
enjoying yourself so much that you have forgotten
you were on a quest, you will see something
important that you believe in and feel passionate
about starts to emerge.
- Follow that star.
If you believe that your dreams are your unconscious
talking to you, then here is an alternative way:
Listen. Listen carefully and explore your dreams: you
may find that your dreams can become your goals.
And then you will see as you work towards your
goals, "Yes, that is what I am here for".
"What are you doing here?" – enjoy the party!

more with less – to make a greater contribution with
less effort – to be more themselves with less holding
them back.
