Finding Purpose in the Ordinary: Embracing a Normal Life
Not knowing what to do in life is a common experience that many people go through at different stages of their lives. It can be perplexing, frustrating, and even frightening to lack a clear sense of direction or purpose. It is important to remember, however, that this is a normal part of the human experience, and it is acceptable to not know what you want to do with your life.
Firstly, it is essential to recognize that people’s interests, passions, and goals change over time. What you thought you wanted to do when you were 18 may not be what you want to do when you’re 25 or 30. Life experiences, new information, and personal development can all have an impact on your interests and desires. So, not knowing what you want to do with your life can indicate that you are still exploring and determining what resonates with you.
Second, it is critical to recognize that the pressure to have a clear career path or life plan is frequently external. Success in society and culture is defined by certain expectations and norms, such as having a high-paying job or owning a home. These expectations, however, may not be in line with your values, goals, or desires. It is acceptable to prioritize your own happiness and well-being over meeting societal expectations.
