thinking life plan

New phase of my life may be coming. I started working for 3 years, which was not what I thought to be in my old days, but to be enought to content with. Still I have strong feeling that I have to change.
Last night, I met a friend of UCR after long interval, and we talked about many good memories in California when we both tried to figure out how to create "myself" through studying, struggling in different country. From that standpoint, time has passed at the same time we matured. One of the what we lose is passion for living that I understand there's a way for easy living as long as I could get a salary, another is a dream to design my future. I rarely bring work home, because I always do my best in my workplace so that I was so exhausted when I come home, and that completely separate work itself from my life. Even as a part of job experience that would contribute my future profession, I didn't see my current work relating to the life. For me so far, work is only a means of earnings.
However, I used to have something I wanted to do. Now should have been only a pass point toward the "Ideal myself". Did I really develop myself via what I'm doing now? It's high time to rethink blueprint of my life.
