What do I want to do with what I have
…
So, I think that my line of inquiry should be modified from “what do I want to do” to “what do I want to do with what I have”. This addendum will force me to continually assess my current state and then use that information to guide future actions. The question “what do I want to do” is useful for acting upon your desires, but the best answer to that question could be “I want to watch a movie.” Unforunately, that does not help to resolve the divide between my present and my future. And such answers do not fully utilize you: “what do I want to do with what I have” forces you to think about how you want to use yourself, and, ultimately, how you want to give meaning to your life.
