Life Purpose And Career Path?

[abigailwornesable]

My current situation

I am 20 years old female, engaged and in a happy relationship. My partner and I moved 4 months ago from London to Manchester away from all family and friends, the purpose of this was to buy a house there as it is much more affordable and the quality of life is much greater in terms of the area. When moving up here I had to get myself a job pretty quickly as we would both be living under his fathers roof until we found a suitable property. I landed a job in a lets say prestigious company and a role that I would be able to progress quickly in whist being in the area I thought I'd like to be in (beauty Marketing) I quickly figured that the office job was not for me and I felt as if I was working a job with no real meaning or enjoyment which was causing me a great deal of confusion in what I wanted to do and want career is really for me? I left the office job and wanted to come out of work to find what my true purpose and career path is to follow something I'm passionate about and to contribute my skills to society. From this I done a variety of brainstorming on my creative passions, things I enjoy most, what I want my purpose to be but I am getting caught up on the fact that I don't know where my life is heading and I don't know what it is I want to do for my career? I feel lost and confused and relating to your confused video you posted a year ago I am embracing the fact that I am confused about the situation but I don't know what to do from this... Im young so should I need to know what I want to do with my life or will this come in time? Please can you give your advice on what I should do in my situation as i I'm trying to build myself as a person and I feel as if this has given me a big confidence knock.

Dilemma 2

My partner and I have found a home that we are buying and in this case I have had to get a job as quickly as possible in order for us to split the costs of the legal fees, bills, ect. although I still haven't figured out the above I have got a new job in a new field (hotel reception) as I need to have an income. I feel as if this new job will be a new experience as I've never worked in the industry and the place of work is a nice atmosphere and colleges are pleasant, however I fear that this still isn't for me (Although I havent started) but have accepted the fact that I will have to continue in this job until we are settled into the house and I am again in a position to make a change based on my purpose and career path, although I still don't know what that is... any tips on how to figure this out? I feel so lost and don't know what Im going to do in my life... do you have any time on how to control this emotion also?

Thanks,

Abbie

Leo's course is great at making you figure out these things.

Sounds like you have too many things to process in this second though. Maybe it's a good idea to just focus on sorting out your new life in your new home for a while, make the most of your new job and when you have your base sorted, start working on the next step.

I've been putting off buying a new place for years just so I could give myself a chance to plot my career path a little better. Doesn't really matter what order you go about your life in, but in my opinion at least, it's best to focus on what you're currently doing and move to the next thing once things are stable to some degree. Otherwise things are more difficult than they need to be.

Whatever you're building, build to last.
