If money wasn't an issue...I still wouldn't know what to do with my life
I'm not sure which flair to use, so sorry if its the wrong one.
I'm having a bit of a midlife crisis especially regarding goals and career. I'm currently on sick leave for burnout and use the time to work through some past trauma and also figure out what to with my life. And the latter proves to be very difficult.
Thats where the title of this post comes from. If you research how to find out what you want to do with your life, this thought experiment comes up regularly: what would you do with your life, if money wasn't an issue? And I don't know. I thought about it extensively several times, really conjured it in my mind and came up with nothing.
Its not that I don't want to work or lay around all day, but I have no idea what I would WANT to do. I tried all the tips, remembering what I liked to do as a kid or what job I wanted as a kid/teen, looking at past and current hobbies or interests and all that Jazz and nothing.
I want to have goals and direction but I have no idea how to find out what I want and I feel like I'm the only one because whenever I read or talk about it, EVERYONE knows what they would like to do most.
And I know I can have a job without it being my passion, I did so in the past, but I just want to explore what I want in life. Am I just broken and weird? Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did you eventually find something and how? Or did you just accept there is nothing you really WANT to do with your life?
