If you have been drifting without a clear picture of your purpose, its time to become more intentional. Begin by rediscovering your passions - often the things you had be doing if life had not gotten in the way. then find very small steps that enliven these thoughts or dreams. If you always wanted to be a writer, get a notebook and begin writing. If you wanted to be a veterinarian, offer to volunteer at an animal shelter. As you begin taking those small steps, a purpose will gradually reveal itself and the path will appear. and that is how dreams come true.
