What If I Don’t Know Who I Am or What I Want?

Have you ever felt like you're just going through the motions—doing what you're told, following the same routine, but never really feeling connected to any of it? If so, you’re not alone.

A lot of times, we grow up being told what to do—what classes to take, what hobbies to try, what’s considered "successful." But what if none of that actually excites you? What if you feel lost and unsure about what you truly want?

The Noise Around You

Think about how much time you spend consuming things—scrolling on social media, watching Netflix, playing video games. It’s like your mind is constantly being pulled in different directions. All that noise makes it hard to hear your own thoughts, your own dreams, and your own voice.

How to Find Your Inner Voice

Here’s something to try: disconnect.

  • Find a quiet space.

  • Turn off your phone, the TV, the computer—everything.

  • Just sit with yourself and clear your mind.

  • Ask yourself: What do I actually like doing? What makes me happy?

  • Wait for the answer. It might not come immediately, but trust that it’s in there.

If that doesn’t work, try this:

What Would You Do If You Knew You Couldn’t Fail?

Have you ever held back from trying something just because you were afraid of failing? Maybe you've thought about starting a YouTube channel, learning an instrument, or even pursuing a dream career, but the fear of messing up stops you before you even start.

Now, imagine this: What if failure wasn’t an option? What if, no matter what you chose to do, you were guaranteed to succeed?

Take a moment and really think about it. If there was a 100% chance that you’d win—no risk, no doubt—what would you do?

Would you:
🎨 Create art and share it with the world?
🎤 Become a singer, actor, or influencer?
🚀 Start your own business?
🌍 Travel and experience different cultures?

Whatever your answer is, that might just be what you truly want in life. Not what others expect from you. Not what feels "safe." But what actually excites you deep down.

You’re Not Stuck

Feeling lost isn’t a bad thing—it just means you're searching. And searching is how you find something real. Take the time to listen to yourself, and eventually, you’ll figure it out.

So, what would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? And what’s stopping you from trying?
