Purpose

So I watched Independent Lens on PBS last night. What an incredibly compelling documentary featuring this young adult who decided that he wanted to live a more meaningful live, one he couldn't seem to find at home in the US, so he decided to move to India to care for HIV infected kids; to give of himself, to love, to care for others. Boy, if more of us had it in us; imagine the world then. Ironic that I stumbled upon this show, because I've been reflecting alot lately and asking myself what can I do to make my life more meaningful now that I'm at a crossroads, and I've come to the realization that there is more to life than sitting behind some desk doing redundant work day in and day out. I can chose to embark on my own journey(still working on the details) to enrich myself and then tackle something outside myself, to take a chance at something new, to give of myself.
