Hi Narz,

I can understand you feel your life purpose is linked to feeling challenged. You can do personality tests like Meyers-Briggs to try to better understand yourself, but ultimately, its still up to you to discover what motivates you. Other people could dare you to climb Everest or to circumnavigate the globe in a rowboat, but may these activities may do nothing to stimulate your curiuosity or inspire you which is what you seem to crave.

You can read about what it takes to become self-directed. You could take initiatives to contact people who shape their lives in ways that interest you.

Yet, before you do anything else, you would benefit from figuring out what you really desire and why? Only you are capable of getting-to-know yourself well enough to feel willing to reach inside and discover sources of passion. This could be building model boats in glass bottles, or getting muddy in sumo wrestling. I would have no idea of your primary motivation. Many people learn through trial and error. They try things and move onto other ones if they discover an activity isn't fulfilling.

You could start by zeroing in on your strongest emotions. What causes them? What makes you feel excited? What gets your blood pumping and your heart beating faster? Connect with those things that trigger positive feelings and desires to continue something. If that means starting a hot air balloon business to carry tourists over scenic vineyards, then do it. Let us know how you're progressing on your journey too.
