Am I Missing Something in Life?

I keep searching at times, even every day. Am I overlooking something? Am I missing the wood for the trees? Is that all in life?
I have had a steady ride in the sense I accepted the reverses as part of life. It is ungrateful if we want only the good times; to enjoy them more we need the bad too.
As I reach the end of the tether the thought recurs – is there anything more to be done? Or just ride out the time left in blissful oblivion of what I need to do. Frankly, I feel a bit lost that I am not really touching those that are less fortunate. Or just as I felt in my younger years before working life, what is the game plan of life? Now it assumes more urgency as time is running out.
Maybe, I need to keep pegging away, sharpening my mind, while keeping my eyes and ears open. I do not want to shut my eyes and rein in the wandering mind. Maybe, my soul is sending a message that I cannot decipher.
Do you also think on those lines? Or just forget it, just enjoy the scenery!

We are lucky that we now have social media to share our thoughts with a hope it will not only help us to unload some of our baggage but also leave positive footprints that we pressed on despite the tough times.
We are all in this journey together with similar hopes, fears and aspirations and the path we take has been the same from time immemorial - siva

Honestly, I do not need the bad times to make me appreciate the good - I see what is happening around me every day. I know we cannot just sail through life without ups and downs - and I have had my fair share of downs, so right now I would wish for more ups and less downs. I try to live life the best way I can follow the Commandments and of course - help others whenever possible.
