I have found myself in a similar situation a few weeks ago. I too spent a lot of time reading Digg, watching videos on youtube and newground, etc. I didn't really care much about anything. Not school, not job, not anything.

I can tell that you at least think that you should be doing something with your life. My question is if you actually want to do something with your life? You don't have to what exactly it is that you want to do, but you have to know that you want something. Is this desire strong enough to get you angry with your current life? Angry enough to do something about it?

While I was sitting in the bath tub, I got that desire. I got angry with my life and I was angry enough to do something about it. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew that I needed to do something. So I got out of the tub, picked up a cup of coffee, and stayed up all night writing about the things that mattered to me.

I didn't know what I was going to write about, but as I wrote a pattern began to emerge. I ended up with a 30 page book. The essence of what I found was that my purpose in life is to provide security to those who need it and to raise up those who will take my place.

It all begins with a simple desire and the rest will reveal itself.
