What is the "Unorganized Optimist" blog really about....

Now, that is a great question! What does the "Unorganized Optimist" really mean..... to be honest, I am not sure I really know what this blog is about..... but I hope it is a start to finding out more about who I am and what my purpose is in this fantastically, enormous world we live in....

Do you ever feel like you are organized, but never seem to actually "be" organized?

Now, this may not make sense, but this is me, and this is what this blog is about. My thoughts are always so scattered, I can never fully understand them - but I sure do try!! Over the years, I have come to realize that I have many passions, dreams, beliefs, and opinions. Of which I am very grateful for.... but it has come to the point that it overwhelms me, because I do not know the passion that is meant to drive me; I do not know my place in this world, and it frustrates me.

I feel I have a purpose, we ALL have a purpose, and I have not found that purpose yet.

My fear is that I may not find this purpose before I leave this world. Some may be scared to die, some may scared to move on, others may be scared to change, follow their dreams and passions. I do not know myself enough to know where I fall in each of those areas, but I do know, I am scared I will not do what I meant to do in this world becasue I did not see the signs or did not listen to the signs being given to me, possibly in fear of change.

​The need and desire to continuously learn, grown and develop myself personally is a constant blessing and battle, that sometimes leaves me feeling like the most unorganized person.. if only I was passionate about one or two things. Do you ever feel this way?

But what if I have found my purpose, but I am searching so hard to find something that already exists?

Someone said to me recently "What if you are happy, you just have not accepted it yet"? This resonated with me, because they were absolutely right. I am so grateful for everything I have - have I lost sight of what exists, striving to be someone that maybe I am not? This is worth a blog in itself, and I will most definitely write about it later!

So, what defines our happiness?

This Heath Ledger quote came across my Facebook feed around the same time that the person above asked me "What if you are happy, you just have not accepted it yet"? And it hit me.... have I been living my own happiness, or the happiness we as a society have established as "successful" and "happy"? Mind blowing (to me). I will also further delve into this in another blog.

Are you organized in your life enough to say that you are truly "happy"?

This blog will be all over the place, but will hopefully help you think about your own happiness, your purpose and where you belong in this fantastically, enormous place we call home. The small things in life are our true motivators; the time we spend with friends and family, nature in its truest form, whatever it may be to you; maybe not all the big "successful" material items we think we need to be happy, strive, thrive, and survive.

Till next time.. Be you. Live your truth!
