Do you sometimes feel weighed down with life – possibly with problems – or just the enormity of making choices? Do you sometimes look at the world around and wonder where you fit in? When will I find a place in the sun , you wonder.
I’m guessing everyone goes through times like that. I certainly have moments when I ask myself questions vital questions like:
- What’s the meaning of life?
- Where do I go from here?
- Am I making a difference to anyone?
- Am I being who I am meant to be?
The list goes on……….
In the past, I would allow such times to get me down and think there was something wrong with me. Now, I know that it’s part of the process of my evolution. If I don’t ask these questions, I won’t be able to evolve in to the person I want to become….ME!
Living is being born slowly. It would be a little too easy if we could borrow ready-made souls.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras, 1942
So if you ever feel soul weary, allow yourself to go through these feelings – give yourself time to ask the vital questions – and also to think through your answers, but most of all know that there are indeed answers and there’s a place in the sun booked just for YOU!

It’s all about the questions we ask ourselves from time to time, isn’t it? I used to think I thought too much, but I’ve realised that periodic self reflection just helps me in the process of becoming.
This post is meant for me! Just what I’m going through. A lot of questions plaguing the mind this week. A work in progress is what I tell myself! Learning and living and taking one day at a time.
I’ve kind of given up on the ‘what is the meaning of life’ query but the ‘am I being who I am meant to be’ haunts me even today. Perhaps that is a good thing because it forces me to constantly reevaluate… right?
I have asked these questions myself. I have sat with these questions. I recall settling down with some ideas posing as answers. But, really, what am I doing?
