This struck a chord…. I have many of the same feelings. Through searching I found the “six questions” in Tiny Budda to try and find purpose and then proceeded to answer them thinking this an easy task… only to find I have lost a part of me that I once had. A long time ago I would have easily answered these questions immediately with passionate answers, but today, drained and drowned out by work, providing, and being responsible, I’ve lost who I am…. the dreamer in me, who set goals and ambitions. I’m struggling to answer even the most basic of these questions. I work each day to answer them a little more, digging deep to remember who I was\want to be, but it’s a struggle. But I desperately need to find that person again. To re-connect…. Maybe at that point, if I can re-connect with that person, can I venture out to try and have a “sailboat” experience, but till that point, I struggle…
