What do we want and what would make us truly happy? What are we worth, what do we demand for ourselves - and what would it take to achieve this level of happiness anyway? Are our wants realistic and meaningful, aside from the usual things like creature comforts and not having to work, unless we want to. Or do we just give up? Is it easier to fill life up, just going through the motions, eating, drinking, smoking, reading romance novels, gossiping, Lol;) (because it's certainly easier to have a commentary on what others are doing or not going, rather than making real and scary changes in our own lives)? Do we have the courage to define our deepest heart-felt wants? Have we determined our purpose, or at least some purpose that makes us feel worthwhile?....
The good news is, it may be less daunting than all that. For those who are not spiritual and who don't find great value in self-help, or anything of the like... it's surprising how comforting some of these teachings can be. The Power of Now allows us to just do in the moment, be in the moment and let the rest take care of itself:) How great does it feel to be let off the hook in that way... The Abundance Book talks about trusting and believing that if we focus on things that we want and that make us happy, we can relax and let life take it's course. In fact, many inventors credit mindless tasks for giving them the mental freedom that "allowed" their most profound ideas. The one common thread is some form of self-reflection... so, if we want a better life, we probably do have to think about who we are, what we want, what makes us happy ... and follow the bread crumbs. Just might be do-able;)

Great post. It reminds me of a quote by Paulo Coelho: " We all have the ability...we just don't all have the courage to follow our dreams and to follow the signs."
