So is there a problem with being "blank" now? Who or what is making you "search" for something "greater", with more "meaning" etc?
Most people don't live in the now. This very present moment. Always seeking to "expand" to make a mark on the world. Then what? That feeds the ego like Diandra says, and the ego loves growing, it needs it to survive. But by accepting your situation and live your life fully "now" you will then be "flowing" as many people are saying here.
Live life, and experience what you "feel" like you want to experience. Then in time from your experiences you know what you like and then what you don't like. Thats the wonderful part of life.
The egoic self is a major part of "hassle" in our lives and we all have had and will have problems in our lives that is necessary to "crack" the shell of the ego. If you are a headstrong person, then you will need 1 massive or loads of mini cracks on your ego from life that will encourage you to "awaken" and find another path.
You can be, do and have anything you desire right now, but not in the way you might think. Lots of people strive to possess more and more things, more money, more cars, more consumable items, more knowledge in this subject or that subject. But less can actually be more. The more you look to calm the egoic self/the mind, experience the stillness, then you let your intuitive self come through.
Faith, trust, love, acceptance of "yourself" is the first step on the path. If you don't have these, then "accept" that, and then find out why and your path starts. When you start to understand yourself, then the seeds of intention can be planted and trusted to grow. Of course watering them (as others have said) will always help, but don't stop living, otherwise the universe will give you what you are showing it. By your thought, word and your deed you plant your seeds. So just be aware of what you intend.
Either way its all perfect. As Eckhart Tolle says its amazing that all our fears and thoughts of our past, and future, that controls our lives so much all the time just makes up the 2.5 cm's between our date of birth and our date of death on our grave stones!!!
Keep intending and planting, and most of all find the enjoyment on your journey. You will never ever reach your final "ultimate" manifestation, because when you get there, you will manifest the next "bigger" manifestation!!!!
