Day One - It's Not About Me?

I have been writing in my Journal ... it helps me with my unruly thought processes and I find it very relaxing. 

 After reading Day One of the Purpose Driven Life, I realize I have been starting my search for purpose , from the wrong premice.   I have decided to "Begin with God", rather than myself.  I believe, He is the source of all life, and without God, life really makes no sense.  At least my life is making no sense. 

"Everything got started in Him and finds it's purpose in Him."
Colossians 1:16

The question to consider:  In spite of all the advertising around me, how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?

I thought about this a lot, and decided that the best way to remind myself is with this blog, journalling, meditating and prayer.  I must confess that I am really not sure how to live for God, I am not really even sure what that means.  However, I don't know what it means to live for myself either.  I am still at a loss, but have a sense that I just might be headed in the right direction.
