Sometimes, you hit the big milestones early, and afterwards, it's a year (or more) of figuring out what you really want next. I’m grateful I didn’t have family/kids yet, it gave me space. But I see friends with families still searching for their next vision and mission. It’s never easy to recapture the hunger we had in our early 20s.
What helped me is that treat “finding your vision” less like a high-pressure quest, more like playing a game—keep asking yourself honest questions (no pressure), make a bucket list, and use first principles to understand what really matters to you. For me, it took 18 months... This process is a lot like starting a company from scratch.
Keep exploring, stay curious, and don’t be hard on yourself if you don’t have big desires right now. That’s okay too.
