When you know your life’s direction

What gives you direction in life?

To me, knowing your life’s direction means understanding what drives you to action and fulfills you. Having a sense of fulfillment usually leads to some amount of happiness. Unfortunately, I just kind of go with the flow most of the time, no major drive to act, so I never really get a solid sense of fulfillment to know that I’m going the right way with my life.

If I’m in the right place and time, and someone needs help in a way I can help them, then I provide people with my time and effort to make sure they get that help. If I can’t directly help them but know who can then I point them that way and make sure that they connect.

Outside of all of that, I don’t actively seek out opportunities to help.

In retrospect, as I’m writing this post out, I’d say my lack of drive is probably because I’ve never made a connection with helping people in ways that I know I can do continuously. Like some authors who write books and know that their stories have helped readers around the world, which would help drive them to keep writing. The ways I’ve helped are always relatively brief. (Does this make sense?)

Maybe this is part of why I’m pushing through with writing every day.
