Purpose is where your deep gladness, meets the worlds needs. What makes one happy, might make another miserable. I don't know which is more important, appeasing others, or one's self. It makes me happy, when i make others happy. But happiness is momentary, it never holds out forever. We live day to day trying, striving, dreaming, of future happiness. If you cant stand where you are, how will you be able to stand where you want to be? Future happiness is possible, its not improbable, It's just not realistic either. Realistic goals can be met, future happiness is designed to never be reached. If it were reached, we would be doomed to not want it any longer. Not want that which we sought.You cant do everything, you cannot have everything. You don't get to have your cake and eat it to, if you did, you would no longer strive.
People make mistakes, people grow weary and patience wears thin. We all trip, to error is human. But its never a wasted fall, if you've gained something from it. a lesson, a smile, passion, those things can have negative effects on the emotional state, but it was what you sought then, therefore it wasn't a mistake. Affairs of the heart, and passions are a fickle thing. Unmeasurable, untamed, and are well worth the pain. Finding a counter part to fit perfectly is a life long battle. Having someone there is something we as humans need, its not wrong to seek that, even if you make a mistake. Everything happens for a reason, it forms who we are, and becomes the pavement we walk upon.
Don't define what you are doing, don't let others define what you are doing. Live for the moment, don't blow all your coins on the first machine. Just allow the moment to become you, and you one with it. Don't make it overly complicated, just let the winds carry you where you need to be.
