In my searching and thinking about my life/career goals and the next step for my life, I was challenged by a friend to think of anything that I've wanted to do ever. This is not an exhaustive list, but it covers the main random ideas.
Learn to dance (anything but ballet)
Travel in the USA
Travel in Europe
Perform in a community theater production
Stay in a cabin on a mountain
Perfect singing/acting ability through coaching
Fly in a plane
Spend time on a ship
Live in an apartment complex or rented house with a group of friends
Go backpacking
Walk in a Life Walk or for another cause
Participate in a social cause event
Learn to massage
Have a makeover
Do a makeover on someone
Learn to cut hair
Go snowboarding
Overcome shyness
Travel with no reserves
Settle down with a family
Learn not to be dependant on money in a money dependant world
Disappear to the world for a time
Build something (building) in relief efforts
Get a tattoo
Live on an island
Go on a road trip
Own a fix it house to rent out until I choose to live in it
Learn to play the violin
Shave my head
Now bouncing once more off the saying about God caring less about our happiness and more about our holiness, I know that doing something just because I want to do it isn't the right idea. I still pose the question, are the emotions and desires that I have totally humanistic, or can God work through those? I know this list means absolutely nothing in the view of my life on earth or in my eternal life, but what if when doing something off of this list, I allowed God to guide me? Would it then be the right plan for my life?
I feel like in a search for my passions and desires, the things I've desired to do could shed light on what that is. So once again, I ask for prayer.
