fasting, day 2

Yes. Questions. There is a list of them. Here are a few:

What are my greatest strengths?
What are my weaknesses? What do I need to improve?
What are my goals in life? My highest priorities?
What are my dreams in life? The things I'd most like and hope to accomplish?
What are my desires in life--the things that give me pleasure and joy?
How do I spend the majority of my time? My free time?
How do I view money and finances?
How do I envision my perfect home? How do I envision it ten years from now?
How do I envision partnership and marriage?

All leading me to...

What is the purpose of my life?

Sort of an inventory, I suppose. And yes--all quite weighty. But it's time. The Fast is a perfect time to reflect on these core questions I hope we all ask ourselves from time to time.

I don't imagine I will have definitive answers to these queries. That's not the point of the exercise. Rather, I hope to simply reflect on the various pieces of my whole life to assess where I am right now without judgment. And in doing so, perhaps the next few steps toward where-I-want-to-be will be gleaned.

Thanks, D. These are perfectly articulated questions -- that I'm stealing for my own Fasting reflection. Love you.
