What Should You Do With Your Life?

Finding purpose in life is the struggle almost every adult goes through.

Most of us have no clue what we want to do with our lives. Even after we finish school. Even after we get a job. Even after we’re making money. Between ages 18 and 25, I changed career aspirations more often than I changed my underwear. And even after I had a business, it took another four years to clearly define what I wanted for my life.

Chances are you’re like me and have no clue what you want to do. It’s a struggle almost every adult goes through. “What do I want to do with my life?” “What am I passionate about?” “What do I not suck at?” I often receive emails from people in their 40s and 50s who still have no clue what they want to do with themselves.

But here’s the thing: what we value changes over time, our priorities shift and we redirect our paths. So a better question to ask is: if this was the last day of your life, would you feel good about what you’re doing? For more questions and ideas on finding your life purpose, watch this video.
