Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

Uncommon advice:
If you don't know what to pursue in life right now.

Then the right path will reveal itself.

Many years ago, I read Steven Pinker’s The Blank Slate, which investigated the nature vs nurture debate. Pinker argued (as best as I can recall) that parent’s primary contribution to their children was genetic, and accounted for roughly half of a child’s outcome. The other half was societally conditioned.
Pinker argued that parents have much less influence than believed. But even at the time, pre-kids, I wondered: don’t parents have the ultimate trump card, in that they can CHOOSE the environment in which their kids are raised? So even if children are more influenced by culture than parents, parents can choose the culture itself.
I’m excited to see where you go with this series!
