Discovering the Questions

I have been reading "Simple Abundance" for a week now.  I have already taken many things from it, and I am faithfully recording my thoughts in an actual journal, but I wanted to have this outlet as well.  Some things are too personal to share, so they will remain private, but other thoughts are things I want to share and receive feedback on. 

The reading from January 2nd, about loving the questions, is still lingering with me.  Sarah talks about loving the questions that will lead to an authentic life.  But what if you have been living so much for other people that you don't even know the questions any more?  I am in a place where I have to discover what the questions are, before I can love them.

I have been playing the role of the patient martyr a little too well.  I sacrifice my time, my talents, and my dreams for my family.  Not only has that robbed me of joy and left me feeling bitter and used, but I am depriving the world of what I have to offer.

Ugh.  I am afraid that sounded terribly arrogant, but I don't mean it to sound that way.  I am not implying I have something extraordinary to offer the world, but I do believe I have a purpose for which I was created.  I have talents suited to that purpose.  I guess the questions are:

What is my purpose?

What talents do I possess that can make that happen?

What is holding me back?

What does my purpose-filled life look like?

Hmmm...
