Motivation and balance. I spend very very little time on myself - in fact, I can't remember the last time I did something that was just simply for me. I also can't seem to motivate myself to do some pretty important things in my life.

I have found the man of my dreams and am happy at my job as well, so I think the only think we could use more of is money. Sounds greedy, but if I was truly greedy I would have a different job and a different man. We'z po' Folks. Other than lack of money, we are still both very happy, just have to save a little longer for some things is all. I guess that makes you appreciate things all the more though. :o)

The peace of mind that is wholeness becoming self as whole self.

'The Phenomenology of Mind
— B —
Self Consciousness
B: Freedom of Self-Consciousness — Stoicism: Scepticism:
The Unhappy Consciousness'
'The Unhappy Consciousness
Φ 207. Hence the Unhappy Consciousness (1) the Alienated Soul which is the consciousness of self as a divided nature, a doubled and merely contradictory being.
Φ 208. This unhappy consciousness, divided and at variance within itself, must, because this contradiction of its essential nature is felt to be a single consciousness, always have in the one consciousness the other also; and thus must be straightway driven out of each in turn, when it thinks it has therein attained to the victory and rest of unity. Its true return into itself, or reconciliation with itself, will, however, display the notion of mind endowed with a life and existence of its own, because it implicitly involves the fact that, while being an undivided consciousness, it is a double-consciousness. It is itself the gazing of one self-consciousness into another, and itself is both, and the unity of both is also its own essence; but objectively and consciously it is not yet this essence itself — is not yet the unity of both. '
But is all that is alien in self of self.

Right now, the only thing that's missing in my life is the fact that I want to start a family with my husband; I've never had kids before.
We've been together for three years now and we fell head over heels for each other since the moment we met. I knew from our first conversation that he was more than the right one for me; we wed after a week of knowing each other and have been inseparable ever since. I know that I want to raise this man's kids and to allow our love to create one or more human beings. I've been waiting to have his child but right now I'm experiencing health problems which needs time and money to fix.

I'm lacking understanding and happiness. Think that comes from living my life for everyone else but myself.

Jack...a thoughtful question. My answer is that at this time, peace is lacking in my life. Not peace in the world, but peace inside of me. A very good time to think of this and consider what steps I can take in the next year to gain more peace.
GOD BLESS YOU

Meaning is definitely lacking...and direction. Balance too.

A meaningful job I actually care about and enjoy that makes a difference. Have a job, but couldn't care less about it. Oh, and a boyfriend that isn't a total jackass might be a nice addition too.
