what is your purpose of life?
I can't really seem to put a finger on the answer to this question for myself. It should be easy to know. Some people know they are born to do certain things. At this point in time I can say I was a good mom. How could I miss? I have a great mom! Outside of that I don't know what my purpose is! So far it's not to be wealthy or have a huge career or make a big dent at something. I wish I knew if I should have studied opera or painted like Picasso (bad example, I don't really like his stuff!) or finished college and gone into some high powered business. Instead, I think I'm supposed to "influence people to do good". Sounds like when you ask Miss America that question and she says, "I want world peace". If I know my purpose then I could have a map or plan on how to get there, and be able to assess if I'm moving in the right direction! No clue! Advice from my mom? "Whatever you choose to do, do it well, do it the best you can." Consequently, that's what I try in everything I do--big over-achiever.
I am obsessed with getting things done. My life might be cut short but dammit those decorator pillows better be done before that! I used to do more. Nowadays I try to be more selective. I don't say "Yes" to everything. I say "No" to sports referee, to camp director, to PTA, to extra stuff at work, to running big parties, decorating for weddings, to luau, to riding the motorcycle every day. I can be found pulling weeds in someone's yard if they are sick, I'll cook a meal or two for a friend, I'll sing in church. I'll do whatever is needed (within reason) for my family, church and for hula. I do a lot of stuff for ME. I try to keep a clean house and make things nice and comfy around here. I think I'll get a pedicure today. I've never had a manicure. I've never had my hair done by a beautician for a special event (like prom or wedding) maybe I will for my own funeral. I'd like to get a massage once in awhile.
Outside of these things, I am clueless. I guess I'll just content myself with spreading the aloha wherever I go!
