My whole life I have always been curious about everything. Currently being in my early 30s, I thought I would be married with kids, and live in a house with white picket fences...happily ever after. Well, life has its way of throwing you a curve ball. I am divorced, no kids, and trying to find my life's purpose. I have been in corporate America for about 10 years since I graduated from college. I moved to Miami by myself about 6.5 years ago, and I did not know anyone after my divorce. I am not 100% satisfy, for I feel there's more to life. I have been doing a lot of soul searching for two years now since my last relationship ended. I do have what you call a nice job, good pay and benefit, yet I know that something is missing.
I have always been small my whole life and eat whatever I want. After I turned 30, all of a sudden the extra pounds came out of no where. I finally joined a gym and spa about three months ago, even though it is a little expensive. I was exercising and going to the spa almost everyday. I realized that loving myself means being good to me, so I lost a few pounds and feeling good. I know I must maintain this gym and spa on a consistent basis which is the hardest part since I do get distracted easily. I want to lose a few more pounds, and be in a better shape and feel better about myself.
Recently, I had an aha moment. I went to St. Thomas with a girl friend for about 5 days, and it's the first vacation that we did nothing. It was an all inclusive resort, and everything we want were there. I felt so rested when I came home. I am resting up for three days, and I still have a few more days off until my vacation ends after my next trip. I decided to just relax at home, and do whatever I feel like doing. I was surfing the internet today, and I read an article "3 Most Important Questions to Ask Yourself" from this website calls finerminds.com. I read it and did the exercise, and I realized that I am actually feeling happy. The 3 questions were about what you want to experience, growth and contribute. As long as I take baby step towards what makes me happy, such as travel and living a balance life, I shall be fine. Also, I am good being by myself, for there is so much more to life than to work, get married and have kids, not that is anything wrong with that. For me, I finally realized that my purpose is to enjoy life to the fullest, and all I can do is try to do my best in all of my endeavors. I know that I am on the right track, and life is a journey not a destination. As long as I am continue to experience life, grow, and contribute to the society, I am doing just fine. Thank you!
