Lately, my mind's been in the way a lot.

I'm slowly accepting the idea that in my life nothing has been a total accident. All the good things that I've happened upon weren't by random chance. I really only have good things to say if I look at everything objectively and see the big picture.

That being said -- I sort of feel like there's something not right with the path I'm on and I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what I need to be doing to push myself in the right direction. I feel like I'm out of touch with whatever compass I need to be following so I can put a little more passion into what I'm doing.

I've spent the last 12 months in a workaholic mindset and I'm just not passionate about it. It hasn't been a mindless 12 months -- I've learned a ton and there are some things that are pretty good but the packaging (family business, micromanaging boss, and the environment i moved into to get into this line of work) has me totally confused about life and my direction in general. I jumped from being in IT (mostly tech support and probably on route to becoming a desktop analyst) to the custom clothing industry. If there was something better to jump to at this point I'd probably throw caution to the wind and go but I don't even know where to start anymore.

I just turned 26 yesterday. Life has been very good to me and having my health and overall circumstance in good shape after a quarter of century is no
small matter. I am grateful and really believe the universe is a friendly place.

I don't know if there's a right answer to what I'm searching for or what exactly I'm doing on Steve's forum talking about my slightly confused niche in the universe.. but, I guess a small part of me hopes that someone's been in a similar place and has some retrospect they can share. If you've read this far -- I appreciate it. I'm introverted by nature and don't really get a lot of floor time. It means a lot to me.

You don't feel fulfilled by your work and are wondering as if there's another purpose that you want to be following?

Thats pretty much it. I've tried a few of Steve's exercises for getting in touch with my purpose but I usually get a lot of output that doesn't really get me very far.
I guess I really need to know what I want before I can start going in it's direction. I do believe all the signs are there when things are right though so I'll just have to keep my eyes open.
