Who stole my Purpose and how can I get it back?

This will be the hardest thing I have ever done. I have to commit to everyday being filled with purpose and meaning. I can no longer waste time.

Here is my problem. I am supposed to find a passion, a life’s purpose. Every article, book, discussion, documentary and website leads to the same answer:

Do what you love and the money will follow.

This can be turned around into “What do you love to do?”

When you answer this question it is like winning the lottery. Now this is where I run into problems. I want to be comfortable financially but I don’t want to have to earn it. I want it to fall into my lap. I know. This is a common problem amongst humans, especially American humans.

Obviously the lottery is not a safe bet. Even with my crappy math skills, I can figure that one out. Marriage to the wealthy usually only happens for other wealthy people, so that was never an option. If I want a lot of money I will need to find a way to “earn” it. This is where finding my “passion” or “purpose” comes into play. If I find this all consuming “passion/purpose” then it will not feel like work and it will magically manifest itself into financial security for me and all my children and grandchildren. This leads to my second big problem:

I love doing nothing!

I can meander through life happily for days, weeks, months, years, even decades without accomplishing a thing.

Here is what I LOVE to do:

Watch television

Eat Cereal

Walk my dog

Read

Hang out with my girl friends

Surf the web (especially Huffington Post)

Sleep

So I need someone to tell me how in the hell I can make a living doing any of the things I love.
