Back after a long break

Well, here I am again. It's been a while.
I thought I was done with my mid-life crisis, but well, here we are again!!
Am trying to bring back the creativity in my life, the joie-de-vivre, the enthusiasm And the good health. I've let myself take a beating for a long time - mentally and physically. And most of it was driven due to a craze for professional success, without even knowing what it is that I really want to do as a profession. It has been just recently that I've realized, through the understanding developed through spiritual reading, that I am here on this Earth to play multiple roles. The purpose of my life is not just professional success, but there's more to it. Such as being a good father to my son - who has been entrusted in my care by God. And to be a good son to the parents who have been entrusted thus far to be the people responsible for my upbringing. And to be a good husband. And to play my role in society. And to express completely, and thus exhaust, the latent 'vasanas' or seeds of action - writing, reading, music, travel and the other smaller wants and desires that bind me to this Earth.
It is with this understanding that I am now trying to put my life on track - not again - but for the first time. All success and best wishes to me!
