I wrote in the previous thread that this one stemmed from but here is the nutshell: - Its impossible to know what we want at a young age, literally only 1% probably does one thing their entire life cause they are obsessed with it. - The secret to life IMO is experimentation and exploration. As silicon valley as it sounds, we are shit at predicting what we want because of external influences and us being products of our surroundings. We only start making action when we get to the extreme point of dissatisfaction. However we can notice things that we enjoy in the process. - Frequent introspections and writing helps. Journaling in general helps us understand our mind and is connected to real mental healing. - Drawing up alternative paths (based on odyssey plan) => 5 years if i continue on my current track, 5 years for alternative, 5 years if money (or other responsibilities) were no issue puts things in perspective. - In general it seems productivity is a myth. We can't push mentally through the catharsis of us really not wanting to do something. Its super super hard. It can be done, but hard to sustain long-term. Thats why gym habits take time. - Focus on what brings flow or energy. Every day I try to notice what is the process where I lose myself in the moment. I recently discovered programming. I don't do it to make a startup or get a job, but its intellectually challenging and brings me joy. Its probably because of novelty, but it fills up my day as a hobby. Perhaps in 5 years it won't be the case anymore but there are always things to experiment try that'll put you on a different path
