Sure there are things I'd like to have, but I've just noticed a kind of lack of passion. The things that used to drive me don't anymore. I'm not unhappy about it, it's actually kind of peaceful.
I feel like something's wrong. Something's missing and I don't know what it is. I'm strangely comfortable and content. Maybe it's complacency?
Camille helped me see that I really haven't done anything truly creative (apart from gaming) since we moved to LA. So yeah, no creative movement probably suggests the lack of a particular passion. But you can't just force that, decide to be passionate about something, or create something when you're not really inspired and you're basically okay with that.
Except I guess I'm not because I'm writing about it, and questioning it. It's just the first time in my life I look around and go, you know, things are pretty great. But I'm only 32, that can't mean I'm done. I got a LONG ways to go.
Help me out folks, what do you think?

Time to have a child-that took care of that "something missing" feeling for me and Ben! ;)
Sounds like a big goal would at least help get things moving, shake stuff loose. Plan and save up for a big trip (comiccon?), or save up for a future kid (like Mary suggested), or maybe renew the goal/plan for buying a house. Or even something smaller, like getting involved in a community fundraiser, or getting in shape to run a 5k or something (come do the Warrior Dash with us in April!)
Anyway, for me, goals are great not just for motivation, but as I work towards them I sometimes see what bothered me enough to create a new goal in the first place.
Great post! Very brilliant..
