Hello everyone, I'm trying to find my purpose. I appreciate my current job as a farmer but I don't feel happy with my life. I often hear that to be charismatic and happy we need to find a vision we should aim for in our life and base our everyday actions according to this vision. So I ve been trying to do that since a month in order to find what I wanted to do in the future, by meditating, trying new things, reconnecting with my childhood dreams, etc. Without success. I just have words that come to my mind like freedom, peace, nature. But as a farmer I already more or less have these and I'm still not satisfied with my life, even less satisfied compared to when I didn't have them. It's almost as if aiming for my vision kept bringing me down. Or maybe I m wrong about what my vision is exactly. Something in my mind tells me I should aim for something bigger, but I'm not sure what. Maybe something that gather people around a common goal? I ve been trying new activities and volunteered to try to find a new vision, but I can't seem to connect with anything in particular. I'm struggling to choose a new career path. I just want to make the world a better place, but I'm not sure how. All my friends around me are finding jobs that totally correspond to their values and I'm like "yeah that's exactly where I imagined you to be". How come I can't imagine it for myself? Does anyone has the same issue? If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it. Take care,
