Life

I often find myself wondering about life... the questions that come up for me are:
What is the point?
Why am I here?
What am I destined to do?


I sit and wait for an answer, but often don't get one.  I have realized that I need to take sometime to myself so really dig deep into my soul and connect with the universe if I want any answers.  I need to start meditating. Now my question is how to I start doing that?  I have a packed schedule and a 6 year old boy so time for myself is a rare and coveted commodity.
When I do find time to myself I have 4 cats and a puppy that cause a lot of noise and make it hard to meditate. So my question is to all those that meditate where and when do you do it?  Has it helped you with a sense of purpose?
I know I was born and have survived this long because I am destined for great things.  Now I just need to connect with my great thing.
Do you every feel like you are being held back and are struggling to break free?  I feel like this often and I think it causes a lot of my anxiety. I feel right now like I am closer to breaking free than I have ever been though!  I feel like the key is buying my home and getting moved in.  I have been waiting on and working for this dream for so long now, I am struggling to wait any longer! 


What is holding you back?  What are you destined for?
