Its been awhile
It has been awhile since I got back to this journal/diary that I am keeping online. There have been too many confusions amidst a lot of happiness...
Has anyone wondered about .... our life's work? This is something that keeps bothering me ever so much. The lack of a goal can be really so debilitating. When one is in school.. the deal is to get into a good college, when you are in a good college, the deal is to get into a good job..
When you are in a good job, what is the next logical step? Is it just looking for the next rung in the career ladder of a particular organization/industry.. Isn't that just plain stressful... considering all the stress that you have to endure lifelong.. :-)
We have all been very conditioned by our parents and the goals that they set... However, once we reach adulthood and have performed against the goals.. how does one measure one's self worth. Is there anyone who has some thoughts on this?
I have been struggling with this for sometime.. so just thought I will write this post and see if I get some responses from the wide variety of bloggers out there..
Cheers...

Joe, welcome to the midlife crisis :-). I was always wondering when you will start blogging, since a gemini has a lot of things to tell and blogging is the right outlet.
Regarding your question, use the standard MBA answer - change the frameset. Why should your goals be defined by the society? Why not set yourself to do something you really enjoy. I know that you play the guitar, atleast you used to play. Why not try to form a garage band? Think on those lines. What next has to come from inside - that is my 2 cents
Hey joseph.. me first time to ur blog.. me too has started a blog just now... is good na?...just saw ur comment in chentil's blog that nobody sees what u write n so decided to check it out... its good da.
Rim,
Thanks I do appreciate that you came to check my ramblings... It is really amazing. I never realized that here was something so potent to expression.. and I never really learnt about it.. but now that I have.. I hope to make maximum use of it.
Chen, I never knew that blogs made for such interesting reading.. but then one day in my heights of boredom, I stumbled on one and I have never been the same since.. (Obviously, I am exaggerating)
Changing the frameset is the key... and also I have realized, how one determines self-worth is also important. These are things on which I have taken a beating the last few years.. its been really hard on that front but hey thanks.. I have started following your advice and have been playing bass guitar the last month or so.. :-)
