What makes you come alive?

This year has been a bit, well, all over the place. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be where I am now! Things are absolutely wonderful, for the most part. Things like not having my group of friends right down the street or my favorite store just a drive away does stink a bit but overall, we're doing well here. Someone was recently speaking about life, and the different sectors, and how they considered that things were going well if 2 out of the 3 were a success for them at the moment. These categories were 1. friends and family 2. Career 3. personal or romantic. I have to say, I have got one for sure... number 3 is going well, I feel like the other two are a bit half way, so... I guess I am doing alright, since the two that are half combine to make a whole. With friends, there isn't a lot more that I can do with my relationships with friends in the states. I would like to actually make some friends here, but that is something that takes time, something that will come naturally. And work, I like most of the people I see on a daily basis, and things are good for the most part, I know I am capable of so much more. There is just something not clicking, part of it is I am sure the wonderful schedule demands in the world of retail, being married and newly married, I simply want to be at home with my husband when he is here, and now that Alex is working too it has only seemed to exaggerate this feeling.
With both how things seem to be going in my mind and in the world with riots and government's being overthrown, and all the chaos that is happening around it is so hard to focus on such minimal "importances" that I feel are almost created to bring some form of validation to peoples lives .  I was speaking to someone recently, trying to give them advice on work, on life, etc... and shared with them one of my favorite quotes. It is from author John Eldredge, "Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs is people whom have come alive!" (this may not be 100% verbatim.) But I mean, how true! So many people these days are just being, just doing. They aren't passionate about what they are doing, and are most likely unhappy with life if you really get to the root of it. I hate that thought, I refuse to not be alive in my life, in each and every sector of that! I am not sure yet what that looks like specifically. I am blessed and cursed in the regards that there are so many things that excite me, that I am passionate about and that make me feel alive. I just need to actually focus on them and make one or a few of them come to fruition. I hope that everyone reading this is truly alive in their life, and if not, are brave enough to do whatever it takes to make yourself come alive, because that is what the world needs!
