Live your own Life

"We don't always know what makes us happy. We know, instead, what we think SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts at happiness fail...We are mute when it comes to naming accurately our own preferences, delights, gifts, talents. The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people's expectations. The tongue of the original self is the language of the heart."
-- Julia Cameron
We are each unique beings with a unique path in life. 
If we wish to be fulfilled, we need to go to our own hearts for direction. 
We might regularly ask ourselves:
  • "What do I really want to do?"
  • "What brings me greatest happiness?"
  • "How can I bring more of these into my life?"
Life wants us to go for what brings us most joy and meaning.
