I understand what it's like to have an enormous, untethered drive to do something ill-defined, especially with regard to my professional life.
I wrote a 6 part article series explaining how I got myself out of the funk I was in. It may not fit your situation precisely, but there might be something helpful there.
Here is the first article in the series: Synergy, the Key to Greater Energy and Happiness
I wish you the best of luck and am confident you will sort it out. |
I really liked the article! The American Zombie article was also right on in my opinion... I just read the one on "finding your message" and that's where I think I'm just stuck for the moment. Kind of a long story, but I don't feel like I really have much of a base to gain a message from... I actually very recently stopped having bouts of horrible depression which started after I realized I no longer believed in the religion I was raised in (and that pretty much WAS the foundation to all of my thoughts and beliefs before) and during that time was very pessimistic and cynical toward just about everything. I really enjoy the mindset I have now compared to then, however I still don't have an idea of what to think when it comes to any kind of "meaning" of being alive, sense of any real purpose, and etc.
I think my main concern for the short term (over the next 6 months roughly) is to find a new way to make a decent amount of money to cover my bills and needs without having to send myself into the prison that has become the typical American workday, also known as "Office World". I can't help but feel though that if I had a more solid foundaton for myself existing in the first place, everything else would fall in order much faster. Life might be easier if I didn't like the think so much
