But as it ever occur to you that there's a specific thing we are supposed to be doing at every point in time.

Just take a moment and think about all the happy people you know or have come across, you'd realise they all have one thing in common. They are all doing what they are passionate about.

Many times, we are just holding on to things that don't mean much to us. And that is why we go through series of emotional fallouts, from feeling sorry for ourselves to feeling stuck and trapped to feeling sad and angry then feeling frustrated, etc.

It's hard to put up a positive attitude when you're not passionate. Truth is whatever thing you're doing starts with the mind. 

I remember when I used to believe that happy people are happy because they have it all going on but not until this moment it struck me that they are not happy because they have it all going on, but they have it all going on because they are happy.

You have to make the decision first in your heart to be positive about life.

And to stay positive means you having a purpose and goals. When you are doing something just because you want to be busy, you easily get tired.

But when you're doing what you're doing with a purpose in mind, you discover that you just become a high flyer because you keep setting the pace and others would have to stuggle to catch up each time you raise the bar. The beautiful thing about this is that you do that effortlessly with all joy in your heart.

Purpose is what let you never to settle. As you keep accomplishing new goals, you set greater ones and you start working towards it.

Now many people are not happy with their jobs and they cannot be fully productive because they are not passionate about it.

They are not doing well enough to be inspired to go to work every morning neither are they doing bad enough to get fired.

In such cases, these people are just doing all they can to hold on to the job and not really buying into the vision of the company.

Likewise many relationships we see today. Just holding onto their current partners for the sake of having a relationship.

The relationship is not doing well enough to move into a deeper level of intimacy and trust but on the other hand, not doing bad enough to warrant a break-up.

Purpose is the fuel of life and passion. If you can't see any picture, you can't paint anything meaningful.

The Bible even says write the vision upon paper that he may run that reads it.

In other words when the purpose is clear enough, whoever sees it would be willing not just to take a step but to go the extra mile.

So if you find yourself in a place where you do not know what you're doing anymore, or you're currently losing interest in everything and everyone. What you need is to find where your passion is and not to sit down to complain about your sad life or spread ulcers to everyone around you.

The value of your job, spouse, family, life, etc is what you can get from it. For instance when you're holding a $100 with you right now the value of that money is what it can buy. It's value is what you can exchange for it.

But if you refuse to buy anything it does not mean that the money is useless.

So it is always up to us to decide what we want to get out of our family, job, the people around us, there is potential in everything and everyone only if we pay attention.
