Here are some interesting questions you might want to try

answering.

One: If you could completely change places with any

other person in the world, would you do it? And who

would that person be?

Two: If you could work at any job you could choose,

would that work be different from the work you're

doing now?

Three: If you could live in any part of the country

you want to live in, would you move from where you

are now living?

Four: If you could go back to age 12 and live your

life from that point over again, would you do it?

Studies indicate that the great majority of people, even

though they have a certain amount of dissatisfaction with

their present lives and don't seem to be as happy as they

might be, will answer "no" to all four questions. A person

often feels when he's accomplished everything he's worked

and struggled for so long to achieve, he finds himself

depressed more and more of the time. He has a fine job and

an excellent income, a beautiful home, a wonderful spouse

and children. In fact, everything is finally just as he'd

planned it for so many years. And for no reason that he can

put his finger on, all the fun and enthusiasm has strongly

disappeared. He's listless and unhappy, and he can't think

of a single reason why.

This has become a common modern malady, especially in

retirement, and it's what so often happens when a person

runs out of goals. This is when the game of life begins to go

to pot, and the person needs to remind himself of the basic

rules for successful, enthusiastic living. And the first rule is

that a human being must have something worthwhile

toward which he's working. Without that, everything else,

even the most remarkable achievements of the past and all

the trappings of worldly success tend to turn sour.

Achieving our life goals can be compared to opening our

presents on Christmas morning and watching those we

love open theirs. We look forward to the day, plan, and

work toward it. Suddenly it is there and all of the presents

have been opened, and then what?

Well, we must then turn our thoughts and attention to other

things. The successful novelist begins planning his next

book before he completes the one he's working on. The

scientist always has something new and challenging to turn

to when he completes a project. The teacher has a new class

coming up. The young family has children to raise and get

through school, the new home to buy, the promotion to

work for.

But for millions who reach their 40s and 50s and find

they've done all they set out to do and that there are no new

challenges to give them stimulus and direction, there often

comes the most trying time of their lives - the search for

meaning, for new meaning, and it must be found if the old

interest and vitality are to be restored to their lives, if

they're to achieve renewal as persons.

If you understand this, even the search for new meaning can

bring new interest into your life. You've got to say to

yourself, "All right, I've done what I've set out to do. Now I

must find something new and interesting to do."
