Try simply enjoying the present--whatever you're doing right now. If there is anything you've wanted to do or learn or enjoy, give it a try.

But seriously--it's okay not to be on fire for something, or be charging ahead all the time. We all need rest, and maybe this is just your time to do it.

I use these kinds of drifty, aimless periods to examine what I think I really want, and simply enjoy myself. And when I'm relaxed and focused on just being as happy as I can be for right now, a new purpose usually evolves out of it.
Man it's refreshing to hear good advice! MagicalRealist, I'mma check out your blog.

To SomebodySomewhere, before periods of great change, there is often periods of rest. You can't have one without the other. Listen to MagicalRealist, learn to enjoy this moment - for when you are READY, you will move forward. Good luck.
