Well, I sometimes get concerned that people will tune-out my advice because I'm an openly-announced Darkworker, for a variety of reasons. But, I'd genuinely like to help here, because this is a common problem that I feel often goes unaddressed.
In fact -- I think I'll make my next post about it.
As much as I would like to say that the intuition will yield purpose (and it will), its about making that purpose defined and driving -- this requires a rooting in experience.
Ultimately, that is the problem, a stagnancy in life begs us to touch its counterpart: When you know what you're here for, prioritization will happen damn near automatically.
The answer: death. I know this might sound strange, but most of us on these forums come from a culture that shuns death, or dismisses it. Look at how much we cling to youth and the material, dancing in insanity.
I swear to you: Volunteer at a hospice, take care of those who are dying. Make this small, courageous step, and life will never be the same again. If you can't manage that, start by offering to talk to those who are grieving, going to a funeral (open-casket), or volunteer at the local animal shelter.
This is actually a Buddhist practice that I found knocks that crap right out. Going off and having an adventure is like tylenol compared to amoxicillin with this issue.
Hope that helps.
