I’ve been in this exact same vote. In fact, I think we all have at one time and been caught in this vicious cycle inside our heads.

If it’s one thing I did that really started my self-exploration process was the fact that I went traveling for quite some time. I went on my own, backpacked around, and by doing this I really got a sense of who I am and what makes me me. It wasn’t really until last year where I finally finalized on what it is I want to do with myself and pursue.

One of the bigger questions I asked myself was essentially “what is it that I want to do for the rest of my life if money were no object?” What would I be willing to do and provide for work if I wasn’t getting paid. What it came down to for me was that I want to help others, inspire, motivate, and assist people get back on their feet and move again. I want them to become their best self both at a physical level and mental level. Really ask yourself this question, and you might break down here and there, but doing this you can uncover a lot.

Secondly, what is it that you do on a daily basis that you love to do. What are your knacks? What are you good at? What are some things you find yourself lost in conversation with or reading about daily? These things can help focus you in on what it is that really makes up and embodies you. This is where knowing yourself really pays off. You can develop self-confidence once you understand yourself and love the things you do. Because you engage in these activities daily, you want to become better and better in this field, increasing that confidence ten fold to help carry you forward with your goals (hopefully that is doing something in the field that you engage yourself in daily).

I have also spent a lot of time with myself doing “me” things. I ponder on life a lot, and what it means to be successful, happy, living, being alive, etc. Spending a lot of time with yourself you can discover the endless potential within and the possibilities, but eventually tuning in into that one thing that makes you feel alive.

Little coconut, I have no doubt that you will find what it is that you want to do. Just, really try and explore yourself some more, whether it means spending alone time, going traveling, trying new experiences, and so forth. Just know and believe that everything is happening for a reason, and that you are on YOUR OWN LIFE PATH. Know that, and stay true to it!

Cheers,

Brett.
