Article: Ask yourself if you are satisfied with your current trajectory in life. If you're in school, are you studying something that motivates you and you feel passion about? If you're working, is your job meaningful? Does the work justify itself? Do you feel good about the work you're doing? If your answer to these questions is no, you may want to consider a new path for your life, whether that means a different field of education, a new job, or a new place to live. Bounce these questions off of your friends, too. Tell them you're trying to figure out if you're living in a way that helps you love your life. What do you value most in life? If it's your relationships with people, maybe you should be working with people in a field like psychology, social work, or some kind of activism. If it's making a lot of money to provide for your family, maybe you should find a lucrative field that will allow you to make money doing something you enjoy, based on your interests. If you aren't living according to your highest values, you will have a hard time loving your life. Try to figure out what you value most and then plan your life around that, rather than blindly pursuing whatever opportunities may show up around you. If you want to ignite some sparks in your life, put yourself out there and try new activities. Take up painting, fishing, woodwork, yoga, rock climbing, or something else that appeals to you. Bring a friend for even more fun! Think about things you've always wanted to do but never gotten around to. This could be anything from writing poetry to learning how to ice skate. Education is a great way to open new doors and new opportunities. Being educated has been linked to higher mental health, social support, and other positive things. If you feel stuck in life or just want to bring greater satisfaction to your existence, consider going to college and majoring in a subject that appeals to you.  You may qualify for government grants to help lessen the costs. You can also start at a community college and then transfer to a university later, if you aren't able to afford four years of university. If you're at a loss with what to do with your life, consider seeing a career counselor. They are trained professionals who can help you figure out a career path based on your abilities and passions. If you're in high school, you may have access to one through your school. You aren't obligated to pursue whatever path they suggest, however. Make sure it's something you want to do before you begin preparing for your future in a particular field of work or education.
