Returning to Creating My Life

The past 7-8 months have been pretty incredibly busy. And, no I have not created my Tae Kwon Do Center yet! And that is okay.
There came a point when I became very unsettled. I know that I can create and invent my life, but what if I never discovered my life's purpose? What if I was never fully satisfied? There I was like a ping-pong ball engaging in other people's projects because I thought I should, and their project is inspiring. I was also battling between doing that which calls to me and going only after money. I was leaning more towards chasing money.
At some point, a series of synchronous events led me to a series of books starting with the book "Living With Joy". Joy, something I wasn't sure I had any longer. I was to discover otherwise once I started to speak to people and once I started to eliminate the clutter of activities that I thought I should be doing. Note: I said should rather than love. :) There are a few things that I enjoy in life: Tae Kwon Do, writing, travelling, adventure/exploration, hiking, talking to people (the fulfilling conversations, not the empty conversations of gossip, weather and the like).
Over the next week and a half, I will be testing for my 3rd degree black belt. I will continue to be intensely studying this next week and a half, and I will be writing an essay of my future as a black belt. That is perfect because I was planning to create an invent that in December. :) And, in the meantime, I will continue reading the book "Living with Joy" and doing the meditations.
In following my joy, I will take one step at a time. Sometimes the light of our path only shines that far ahead.

Please note that the book “Living with Joy”, written by Sanaya Roman, may seem similar in content to that of “The Secret” and the books written by Esther Hicks. However the books by Roman have a different flavor, and they were published much earlier (i.e. in the 1980s).
