Open Up - Filling 'The Void'

Have you ever had a moment when you’ve lacked direction or purpose? You might have all the outward appearance of being a successful human being…the late-model car, the house, a loving family, nice holidays…but have you ever stopped and wondered what it’s all for?

Have you ever thought ‘there’s something missing in my life” – but haven’t quite been able to put your finger on what that thing was? If that’s you, how have you tried to fill that void? What sorts of things did you try?

• Maybe you bought a flight, packed your bags and saw the world
• Maybe you adopted a child
• Maybe you turned to drugs
• Maybe you went to church
• Maybe you resigned from your high paying city job and went to work for a charity

Kirsty and I decided to run this as an Open Up topic after hearing about a former colleague who quit their high-paying job, flew overseas and joined a charity. When asked why it was said of them ‘to fill the void’.

Have you ever felt there was something missing in your life, and what did you do about it?
