Dear Ayrton:

You wrote: “I want to be able to wake up in the morning and feel a sense of purpose and a drive to get up and do what I am meant to do in my life…  I love so many things but there isn’t anything where I think oh I would love to do that for the rest of my life.”

You wrote earlier: “I believe I am spending too much time in my own head”-

My input: yes, you spend too much time in your own head, thinking a whole lot. Problem is a few of your basic thoughts are incorrect, that is, not congruent with reality, so all the thinking, the massive thinking doesn’t get you anywhere productive because it is based of a few faulty assumptions.

A couple of the faulty assumptions are in the quote started this post with. You assume that there is something you are “meant to do in (your) life”. This is a belief in destiny, in being born with a pre-programmed life, a singular passion that is there already and for you to discover. But it is not so.

There is nothing you are meant to do. There is no singular passion waiting to be discovered and be actualized for the rest of your life.

The idea of a singular passion is one of those things people believe that exist but very rarely does it exist. Most people wing it or if they hold on stubbornly to the idea that there should be a singular passion, then they feel there is something wrong with them and they get stuck doing nothing. Or ending up in the same place again and again.

Let me know, if you will, what you think so far about what I wrote to you.
