I’m 50 and happy. Almost nobody else knows what to do with their lives, either. The keys seem to be: - Anchor your happiness to things internal to you, and not the environment. - No matter what successes you reach, there will always be ups and downs. Those are natural. - Career and goal-wise: if stuck, just pick something and tend toward making small iterative improvements to whatever you’ve got going. Me? I knew I was going to end up in jail pretty early in life, so I joined the military at 18, and got into an excellent technical job. I still run into periods where I supposedly don’t know what I’m doing, but I recognize it’s normal and don’t worry too much and it passes.
