He Said, She Said: What's Your Purpose?

Jennifer may have already recommended this, but we are both reading Eckhart Tolle's "awakening to your life's purpose". I think it could be very helpful for you right now. I'm enjoying reading it and think that it has some very good reminders about our daily lives.
So what's my purpose? Huh. Great question because I really don't know. I think I know what I should be doing - that is, I think I know.
I have been wondering recently what does this break in work for me really mean. Could this be a signal? Is this a chance that I will never have again to do something completely different? Should I be moving to see a different part of the US? Should I be moving to explore a different part of the world? The question is pretty much am I missing out on something that I should be jumping at right now? Is there something that is slipping through the cracks? Did I just write a paragraph composed entirely of interrogatives?
I really hope that I am not screwing this up. Most of all I just hope that I am doing everything that I can and should be doing each and every day. It's May. This started in November. June will follow. July will follow. Come August this will look and feel like a year which will suck for everybody involved. Oh yeah, George, you are the only one involved.

This is a unique opportunity (and a midlife crisis). Hindsight will be the only way to judge you choices. Make the one that feels the most right. Commit to it.
man those are some toughies there george.
definitely worth exploring with a clear mind.
have you looked elsewhere in the US?
maybe it's time to shake things up a bit. make things happen! call people who know people and dont take NO for an answer. be assertive! be bold! make the magic happen!!!
yep. time to shake things up a bit.
i'd start with a long hot shower, but that's just me.
This might sound cheesy, but... I aks myself the same questions you have here all the time... and I am employed.
Is this a chance that I will never have again to do something completely different? ALWAYS.
Should I be moving to see a different part of the US? PROBABLY.
Should I be moving to explore a different part of the world?
I WANT TO!!!

I THINK I AM....
Is there something that is slipping through the cracks?
FOR ME, MOST DEFINITELY.
I don't know if I made a point, or made you feel better or worse... I'm just saying... Every Friday night when I drive myself home crying from my horrible job, I ask myself these same things...
