A clear vision

I'll start by saying that I became obsessed with books. I cannot go into a book store and not come out with something. In the last 3 months, I bought at least 10 books...

3 books in particular changed my perspective on life. These are:

• The Last Lecture: Randy Pausch, Jeffrey Zaslow
• When All You Have Is Hope: Frank Odea
• Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity: David Allen

After reading these books, something became self-evident. And it is most visible in Frank Odea's book. All these people have (or had) a clear motivation that drove them to succeed. For Randy, it was his childhood dreams. For Frank, it was initially the idea that he would die alone and on the street if he didn't do anything. For David Allen... well it is self-evident: getting stuff done.

They all had this clear vision of where they were going.

And that is my problem: I don't.

I have no idea of where I'm going in life. No idea of what I wanna do. No clear childhood dreams to look up to (I already completed mine: it was graduating). No visions. No fears driving me. No motivation. No nothing.

But I'm not depressed. I am simply faced, again, with paralyzing choice : too many choices available and not enough information to make a good decision. I'm simply afraid to make the wrong decision and so I spend a lot of time trying to think about the best solution... to a problem that I don't really understand...

I've decided to change all that. I've giving myself a week to come up with a solution. Some direction to give to my life. I don't know how I'll do it, but I have to. So much is at stake.

I'll kept posting. Try to see what happen. It will be lots of soul searching...
