A direction for life

I think I have found a guiding principle and direction for the rest of my life. It's Vedanta - the philosophy and practice.
The days of joblessness resulted in severe introspection, which led me to question & answer myself a thousand times. And eventually, I found clarity and deeper meaning in Vedanta. And I am grateful that I have found a direction and guiding principle in life, no matter where I am, and what I'm doing.
The job should happen soon. And life will continue to happen. But this time, it will all be governed by a direction, a principle...Vedanta.
