I think all people experience this. You grow up, you gain experience, and your priorities change.
I used to think I knew who I wanted to be and what I wanted to do. But when I got an education and went to work where I wanted to go, I realized that’s not my life’s purpose, and I have somewhere to grow. I mean, you can’t achieve something and then enjoy it your whole life. There are ups and downs in life, moments when everything loses its meaning, and moments when everything seems meaningful. The main thing is not to stand still. I know people who do nothing, sit at home and have no hobbies and no goals, and say they are not interested. They are closed to anything new. You can’t do that. You have to be constantly on the search. If you have now lost the meaning of what you were doing for a long time, it means that in its place another interest will come. The main thing is to stay open to possibilities.
