I read into this that you have no idea where you're going to. You're running this race and suddenly you're asking yourself why you are running at all.
This is going to sound cliché, but honestly I think it's your age. I remember at your age calling a friend once and telling him how great my life should be - I was wealthy, single, living in foreign lands, doing the best job, known in my industry, yet totally lonely. I felt guilty too about everything I had.
Sometime, I don't know when exactly, I just realised, you really have no control over your life. What happens happens, there is no reason for your life or mine so don't search for one.
When you get that, you realise that everyone is is in the same boat. Some people get different results by chance. It helps that you have skills, but don't try and run the race, if actually you don't feel like running it. Who really cares who wins anyway?
I'll tell you the thing that puts me straight: I think of Mark Zuckerberg. he has everything yet, could he really just go back-packing in India like others his age? Could he just decide to pack up and move to Paris for the kicks? The point I want to make is that success has it's limitations, it's responsabilities too.
If it's going to happen to you it will, but if it doesn't well that's just fine too.
