In The Fellowship of the Ring,
Gandalf said, "All we have to decide 
is what to do with the time that is given to us."

And we have help with that.
Our intrinsic intuition is with us
to guide us all along the way.

All we have to do is dispense with ambition,
aspiration, intention, desire and the will
to have our way no matter what.

Once we get that out of the way
and open ourselves to the emptiness/stillness/silence
(One thing not three)
we wait there for our intuition to nudge us
in the direction of what is called for
in each situation as it arises.

At that point,
we turn to our original nature,
our innate virtues (What we do best
and enjoy doing most)
to see what we have that might be helpful
in the work to do what needs to be done
here, now.

What to do with our life
is not a problem to be solved,
but a joy to be experienced
by doing what we are good at
in ways it is needed.

Life comes to us with its needs
and we serve it with our gifts
(Once we get our plans, agendas
and timetables out of the way).
