The Feeling of the Day

So today seems to be pretty typical.  It's Wednesday and half the week is over and for some reason I am looking back and wondering what I have accomplished for the greater good.  This sends my mind into the abyss of the unknown. What will my future hold?  Will I be able to break out of the cycle of the ever unsatisfying 'American Dream' or will it devour me day-by-day and hour-by-hour until I am just another victim of its grip.  I have been thinking a lot lately and thinking leads to more thinking which sometimes doesn't get me anywhere because I don't take action and don't know how to make it applicable or tangible.

Some of the things I have thought today:

Why am I working for Starbucks?  

What are things I can do to help those around me?

Will I ever find my purpose?

Will I some day wake up and feel like I am helping to bring about positive change in my community and the lives of those around me?

What were the key components in Obama's "A More Perfect Union" speech, and what do I do with that?

These questions may seem simple or the answers may seem simplistic but i wrestle with the answers and in fact-only find more questions instead of a few answers.  I will continue to search, perhaps God will shed some light in His time...may I be granted patience and grace...
