I am in the same boat too. I did start Steve's "What is my true purpose in life" exercise and I am now on day 23 with over 600+ entries. I made it into a 30-day trial where I sit, think and type every morning. I have not found anything yet that moves me on my list but I have received some really interesting things to write down.
I work in the defense industry and while I am grateful to have a good paying job with benefits now, it does not seem right that the military industrial conglomerate continues to fund huge wasteful programs while schools, children, food, communities and education goes lacking. I keep thinking, "we don't need all this war stuff"! Enough! In the logo it includes the word "Lethal". This means to cause death and destruction. Why am I working at a company whose objective is to profit from war and contribute to divisiveness, death and destruction? Yet I am too chicken right now to leave because I don't have anything else to go too. I am stuck in fear and work for money and benefits only. One thing I do know is that is not my life purpose. I am glad I just recently awoke to this realization.
I would recommend doing Steve's exercise as I mentioned above. Search for it in his new book or on the site.
good luck,
Dave
