Feeling lost...

These days I'm kind of feeling lost. I know everyone on earth has some purpose in life and finding it is hard... I'm at a point where finding my purpose in life is a complete waste.. Every time i try to change my life style I feel I'm stuck in my past.. If it's a career I'm not in the place where I want to be.. If it's love/ relationship I'm not with that person cause things didn't work out.. Even though it's over and that person moved on and so did I but I'm still stuck in the past... I'm not sure why and how but yeah... Sometimes I do wonder what life yields me... What should I do? How to come to a conclusion and how to choose the right path and move on in my life? What is the right decision I need to make to stop feeling miserable? I would like your suggestions folks and tell me what you'rea feeling too...

Please don't believe that purpose crap. We are not God's children. We weren't born to serve a purpose. We came into existence bcoz our parents had sex. Period!

Now that we have established it, understand that since there's nothing defined for you, it's a Privilege. You get to decide what you wanna do! You can literally do anything! If you have tried enough and didn't enjoy something, move on to the next thing you want to try!

It's okay to not know what your future holds for you. It's okay to experiment to figure out what makes you happy. This is true for everything that you do - friends, food, career, hobbies etc. It's only fair to take time find out what you like by experimenting!

I understand the psychological need to go back to the past, but it only is gonna ruin your fun in the present. There's nothing wrong to reminisce the past as long as you can snap back to reality

TLDR - there's no right path, there's nothing defined for you. It's entirely you who crafts your own path. Your decisions are based on what you want in your life and what you are willing to sacrifice for it!
If you take a path and screw up, it's fine, from that point make a decision to either continue the path or switch.
Don't be so hell bent on not failing!

Thanks pal.. What ur saying is absolutely true... Few points that u mentioned hits hard.. Just one question if I want something I put some effort for it.. but didn't get it does that mean I'm not serious about it? Or I'm not paying attention or putting my best to it? What is it?

It can be anything. But when you chase something by giving absolutely everything, you would know that. At that time, even if you don't achieve it, it still would make you feel better than if you hadn't put much efforts. You can move on to next at that time.

Nothing we learn goes to waste!

But self drive for doing things cannot be gained, it can only be developed by using strong sense of achieving something no matter what

this happens to best of us, first of all you need you need to stop thinking about things a lot of things are not in your control. Might sound generic but that’s how it is only way is look inwards and think about thr source of this feeling. Draw inspiration and create goals which is important to you (health, mental, professional, financial whatever) and draw the goals from inspiration not desperation. kindaa sound like advise but this is what happened to me as well but I overcame. good luck buddy.

Increasing healthspan, dont mistake it for lifespan. healthspan is most correlated metric for happiness in life. Goal of learning a sport/hobby. Physical exercise, doing things which i dont like purposely
