Is there something missing?

Sometimes we go through life totally unhappy, feeling like there is just something missing! So how do we fix that problem? There are days when we just want to stay in bed and shut the world out of our lives. However, life does not stop by us hiding! Maybe we need to take some personal time and go to a place that has deep meaning in our lives to do some soul searching. Trying to figure out what our purpose truly is in life! When we find that purpose, do we jump in head on or are we afraid? At times, I think that fear stops us from truly following the leading we have on our lives.
To overcome the fear we have, we could seek counseling and try to work through it that way. If we have a relationship with Jesus, we should rely on him to see us through our situation. I don't know about you but I am not always good about waiting for an answer when I pray about something. Having the faith to believe that everything will work out is hard. There are days when I try to do it on my own. Most times, it doesn't always work out the way I wanted it to but sometimes it does.
We can only live in today, because if we keep looking behind it hinders us from moving forward. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn't here yet. So I strive to make today the Best day that it can be! I had to step back and look at my why! To discover this, I had to ask myself several questions. What do I want out of life? What is my purpose? What do I hope to accomplish by following the path I have chosen? Am I doing my absolute best at my work?
When I help other people, it helps me also. I don't like to see other people in misery and always lend an ear to listen to others problems. If I have gone through an experience in my life that may help someone else, I share it with them. The way I handled it may not be the way someone else chooses to do it, but it may help them to see things differently. If we help one person a day or brighten their life in some small way, it helps us to feel happier. Try doing something nice for someone with or without them knowing it! It could be a word of encouragement, a prayer, a small note to let them know you are thinking of them, or just visiting with them. The list is truly endless! It may change your perspective on life itself. It may change the persons life that you are doing it for. We don't always know what another person may be going through at a particular time!
