It’s been shown infinite times that you can’t just sit and rationally figure out what do you wantin life.

There’s always some transcendental unexplainable element to it. Some would simply call it gut feeling, others would refer to religious matters, and some would spend the whole life building a philosophical theory around it. Which in the end will remain just another theory.

So either you stay on the surface like most normal people do and stick to simple, definable goals like family, carrier etc.

Or you embrace the fundamental uncertainty of life and go with the flow.

Or you combine both options together )
