Lately I have been asking myself the same three questions. I've also been thinking that maybe if I ask myself these questions more often I can solve the "what should I do?" question a little faster and be more satisfied with the decision. The three questions I've started asking myself as of late are:
* What am I doing?
*What do I want to do?
* What should I be doing?
Ok so here is my dilemma, question, thought, what if one of those three questions doesn't quite fit to help solve the other one. Sometimes what I am doing doesn't work. So that leads to the question "What do I want to do?" Seems easy right. Well not in all cases because "what I want to do, doesn't always go along with what I should be doing". Now I know that this could all be avoided by just asking our heavenly father what to do. I pray and ask for guidance. But what I've come to discover is that sometimes there is no one answer. Sometimes Heavenly Father says they are both good choices. Or sometimes he says no matter what you choose its going to be hard. He tells us that he sent us here to learn. To make choices. That he will guide us and he always does that he will always be with us and he is, but he can't make the choice for us. Its those questions that I hate. The ones that could change things dramatically and no choice is right or wrong its just a choice. I know.....way to deep of a post.....something maybe I should have just left in my journal....but I am really wondering if anyone else feels this way. Am I just plain crazy?lol

I struggle with it often. What I want, perhaps, is to move where there are lots of trees and green grass and the winters are mild. What I should do is be content and learn what I can from where I'm at. When my focus is what I want I often find myself discontent. I need to find more joy in my current journey and not worry about what's next all the time.
