I believe it is important to have many purposes:
Your love (or your reason for getting out of bed) for being a friend, mother, father, teacher, fireman, wife, husband, therapist, grandparent, bread winner, writer, painter, singer, leader...and so on.
The problem I face is that I have not figured out other purposes for myself. The one I love, I am doing through my career (which I discovered this purpose about 3 yrs ago - nothing in my life has yet to compare) - problem is it looks like it may have to end for financial reasons - and I am having a very very very hard time and much fear and doubt as to what comes next...and I do not have really any other "purposes" (affordable ones) to center my life on. Being able to take care of yourself/family financially - doing something you do not like to do or believe in - just palin sucks!
