Whether you are drawn to muse upon your childhood or consider the ups and downs of early adulthood, you may find your thoughts coming back again and again to those activities that once brought you immense pleasure. If you feel driven to think about a particular hobby or pursuit that you gave up because it conflicted with those activities you deemed mature, consider both the satisfaction you derived from it and your reasons for discontinuing your association with it. You may discover today that the passions of yesteryear can once again become an important part of your existence without interfering with your current lifestyle.

The pleasures we enjoyed in the past can teach us much about what we need to do to fulfill ourselves in the present.

Through introspection, we rediscover our soul's purpose buried in the memories of the paths that we left behind. Though our desires can change discernibly with the passage of time, we can nonetheless connect with all that may still inspire us by simply musing on the past. As you contemplate your history today, your vivid memories can reawaken your hunger for purpose.
