Everything might start with find your purpose; but finding your purpose is not the way to start.
It sounds like you are tripping up over yourself and stopping yourself from getting where you need to go next. In your post I see everything from self-sabotage to procrastination, fear of failure to perfectionism.
I've taken the approach (and I can't remember when I started this) that changing the concious mind is a pain in the butt and it's better to go around it and change/re-program the other-than-concious mind.
I don't know what you've tried, but you could try Nightgale Conant's website (UK:

Nightingale Conant ) and find their "free 24 page, 7-step goal-setting template". If you put in your details they will call you to arrange a free 30-minute coaching call with one of their professional coaches. I've found that to be really good value and has helped me focus on my core strengths and the next steps I can take to achieve various goals. You will also pick-up tips and techniques on how to be your own coach in the future.
