on the right track?

A few guys from church have been meeting and talking about the book Wild at Heart. This week we had a really good conversation about a question that I think almost everyone has to ask themselves:

Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing with my life?

How do you figure that out? I mean, I can't answer that question with any certainty. Most people my age probably can't. And because we can't, we start playing these crazy games trying to figure out God's will for our lives.

When that doesn't lead to a conclusive answer, I get restless, frustrated, go through a mini quarter-life crisis - or worse, I just go about my routines and ignore the question in the first place. I'm pretty sure none of those actions do anything to answer the question.

So here's where I'm at on the situation. Even if I can't answer that question with any certainty, if I feel like I have battles worth fighting in my life, then I at least know that I'm not wasting my life. And if I'm not wasting my life, then I can't be too far off doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

But that's me. I'd love to hear your thoughts if you've got any...
