27yo guy. really need a sense of direction, goals that will motivate me, dreams to work towards.
i just can’t seem to decide what i want to achieve in life. i know that once i decide what i actually want i will be focused, motivated and purposeful but at the moment i feel like a ship in the ocean without charts or a compass.
i’m not keen on settling down and starting a family for a long while yet. i’m not particularly motivated by earning huge amounts of money so a life dedicated to that is out.
i really just want to live a life that i can find purposeful and rewarding but not sure how.
any suggestions?
Maybe you could sit down with a pen and some paper for a bit and work on your goals. Maybe make 2 columns, one for things you enjoy and are good at, the other for things you don’t enjoy and aren’t so good at. Using those lists you could work out which jobs/hobbies would be best for you, then find out about how to get that job and about clubs in your area that cater for those interests.
Then you could set yourself a few long-term goals (eg where you want to be in a few year’s time) with short-term goals as well (short-term goals help keep you focused on your long-term goals and they help you stay motivated because you’ve always got something to aim for in the very near future)
Good luck!
