What do I want to do with my life?

This will be an ongoing exercise. As you age and grow, your priorities and motivation will change.
Watch the video below to understand the difference between what you do, and why you do it, and the difference it can make if you know your why.
Know your Why
This topic is as unique to you as your fingerprints are, and are the most important question that you need to answer in your life. Unfortunately most people do not have an active plan, they re-act to what-ever life throws at them. The saying goes, "You better have a plan for your life, or else somebody else will make a plan for you."
This is also where you meet with your God, or your destiny, or whatever you want to call it. People live better, happier lives if they work towards a greater goal, have a purpose in life. If you are a religious person, make sure that your plan derives from His plan, otherwise you will be like a flea carried around by a dog, having lots of action, but no progress.
