What do you want from life?

When I started this blog a few months ago I asked "What do you want from life?" I answered:

What do I want from life?
*Happiness
*To Love & Be Loved
*Inner Peace
*The Ocean (I've always been drawn to the ocean... and I don't know what that means, but I need to find out)
*Fitness
*Husband
*Children
*House/Home
*Pets
*Comfort (not to be "rich" but not living day to day, cherub to cherub)

Thank you to Matthew Kelly's Book "The Rhythm of Life" for this Inspiration.

I think that list still holds true.

I was wondering if my list was a tainted list seen from inside some painful shell I was living in. It seems that my want from life is not different based on my emotional state. Seems it continues to stand true.

So I sit here wondering why I could not see this before?

Or, had I seen it and been to afraid to face it because that path I was on, although, did not lead me there, was easy and clear? Why is it that the easy path does not make us take note that there may be more out there?

Why is it, we as a society cant see more than the footfalls we are walking?

What do we have to be afraid of?

Why are we no more than the sum of our fears?
