Recently, I am feeling rather disorientation and down with my own life. Things around me seems to be doing alright but something inside me seems to be missing and I can't seem put a finger to it.
Dreams... It is something that is always in one's mind and it should be something that keeps one going. It is a far-fetched reality that one strives to achieve and reach. Be it something tangible like money; or motivating like carving an idea into physical reality, these are things and should be things that one have within to push himself forward to new heights.
Aspiration... Someone or some 'thing' to look up to as a model or role-model. There will always be someone in one's life that he admires and trying all he can to live up to his standard. Pushing beyond bounds to attain that 'thing' that makes his soul feel satisfied.
Perspiration... The long hard road to bring oneself to reach the above 2. The everyday work that makes the tiny step forward to bring oneself closer towards them. The soulful giving everyday in one's life knowing that he is giving for a reason and for a greater good; and to know that the result is his to keep.
However, in recent times, I feel that I am lacking in all 3 of the above. I feel that I have lost sight of my dreams, dampen my aspirations and resulting in my loss of perspiration towards them.
Inside me, it breaks myself down to know so. And I really need to get my mind back on track. I know I am able to do so. With all the good people that make up my life story, I thank you all. You all may not know the impact you make to my life but the fact is that you do make a important impact to me everyday. I am lucky to have met you all, even if it was only a brief coincidence. I believe in one sentence I heard before. 'It is the little things you do in life everyday that makes a big difference.'
With time and effort, I will get out of this slump and relight my inner flame.
Thank you all,
Ken

I share your feelings here. Most of the time, we feel the way we do because of the situations that have transpired.
A lack in motivation could be due to many reasons: overworking previously, inability to cope with current workload, disinterest in current work, the need for more challenging tasks and so forth.
The good news is, this is usually a passing phase. It has happened to me as well. I had been through a mere 4 years of working experience adopting different work attitude. There were times of procrastination, hesitation and despair while there were also glorious moments of pride, recognition and self-actualisation.
Only when you recognise this as a passing phase will you use time wisely for other leisure pursuits to recharge for serious work later.
I like to live life to the fullest: taking both work and leisure pursuits seriously. Should work be a smooth sail, I'll focus on leisure activities: this actually includes setting targets for my fitness levels, increasing time spent with family members and having my favourite pasta at Casa Roma.
Whatever it is, I am here for you. :p
I will recommend you to attend a course that I had attended twice early this year :) You will be able to find back your aspirations and your dreams. You will be able to pinpoint where's the problem and get it settled before you can move on, without having to move in cycles. The feeling of emptiness and lost go in cycles in life, if not settled. Maybe you will not believe me :) Just tell you there's such courses around which I had attended and benefited me. I will let you know again if the course is coming to Singapore again. Probably end May07. Sorry, I haven't got much time to keep in contact with you. Dun bury yourself in work, that's an escape :).
