Is It Okay Not to Know What You Want to Do in Life?

Not only is it okay, but it’s pretty darn common. Most people question what they are doing more than once in their lives.

So many people lose touch with who and what they want to be because they’ve been so busy doing what they think they’resupposedto do — only to find themselves unfulfilled and bored.

January 27, 2022April 15, 2021 byBarrie Davenport

Have you found yourself thinking, “Life should be more than this?”

If so, maybe you’re feeling lost about the difference between your current life and what you hoped your life would be.

Author and creativity coach Eric Maisel coined the term “existential intelligence” to describe the weight carried by those with a high sensitivity to the inherent meaning in everything they do.

If you don’t see your daily activities as a meaningful contribution to your life’s purpose, the discord can make you feel anxious and unsettled.

If your job makes you feel dead inside, if your love relationship is stuck in a negative spiral, or if you look in the mirror and want to cry at your reflection, you’re probably feeling lost and wondering how to get to the life you wanted.

Or maybe you’ve already told yourself, “I feel lost in life. But there’s nothing I can do to change that.”

The good news is you’re wrong. There’s always something you can do to reverse your situation.

Whether that something will change your life overnight isn’t for me or anyone else to say, but everything you do matters.

Before we address what to do when you feel lost, you need to know why you’re feeling this way.

And that starts with asking a few questions.

“I’m making a ton of money. I have a job other people would kill for. I can buy anything I want. But I’m miserable.”

But it just wasn’t fulfilling. He wasn’t passionate about his work, and he was discovering that money and things weren’t enough to sustain him.

Fortunately, he could afford to hire a coach to help him find his passion, and he could comfortably make a transition to his passion once we worked together to find it.
