If you ever find yourself searching for something and not knowing what it is, chances are, its fulfillment. That is, a purpose or direction in life that lets you be happy via the process.
Another way of putting it would be loving gymnastics, not loving the medal you get for them. (Peaceful Warrior reference, see the key to awesome books section)
There are two types of people in the world in terms of motivation. Moving towards, and moving away from people.
Why be rich? "So you don't starve/aren't poor"
Why be rich? "To be able to travel to Fiji/to be able to eat without ever looking at the prices on a menu again"
The moving towards people, as a general rule, have bigger goals, and achieve more. The moving away from people generally make less mistakes in life.
So, as the title of this post would suggest: What do you do if you're a moving towards person, and have nothing to MOVE towards??
Answer: Search out that something.
How do you do that? A great start is to figure out who has what you want.
For example, I want to surround myself with passionate, driven, successful, happy, enthusiastic, wealthy, generous people.
The next step is to find those people, and figure out what you can do for them. Can you be a brainstorming sounding board? A personal assistant? A peer? A financier? A councilor? A teacher?
Remember: You are waaaaay better at SOMETHING than they are. Maybe they want to learn that something.
