I’m still young and I have a lot of possible paths ahead of me, which is both exciting and overwhelming.

I noticed that I’m only truly productive when I deeply believe in what I’m working toward. A few months ago I strongly believed in a vision I had, and I worked constantly toward it, but when I realized it was unrealistic, I lost most of my motivation.

I don’t just want a comfortable life or a normal career. I want to do something that could genuinely improve people’s lives on a large scale — something that feels logically and philosophically worth dedicating myself to.

How do people actually find a goal that feels truly worth pursuing? Especially when you have very high expectations for what your life should mean. And what can one person realistically do to change the world?
