I’m really glad that you took the time to post such a helpful long post. That was exactly the article I was looking for. I have read it all, it took me some time but it was worth it
You described me (and many others) well in your first post. That is exactly the position that I’m struggling with since a year or so.
I don’t know what I’m passionate about, I don’t know what I could offer to the world, I don’t know what career I should choose. I’m just lost. And it’s really painful.
I would say that Step 6 is the hardest. Letting go of expectations, and self validation. It’s easier said than done.
And struggling with depression while regretting past mistakes was a complete waste of time. It never helped me in the process of getting from A to B, however it held me back.
Anyway, Thanks for sharing this with us
