I often wonder what to do with my life. To me it's part of a cycle between focused directed work (where I know more-or-less what I'm doing) and drifting/searching.
I like this passage from the bible (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) that seems to include some of these concepts (I'm not religious or anything, honest!):
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace.
I've been feeling more in the direction of cast away, lose, cast away stones, break down. But beginning to feel the need to embrace, build up, sew, plant, and gather stones together.
