I think what you're lacking is a clear mission. Trust me, I've been there. And I mean, I've really been there. Had no direction at all, confused since birth about who I was and my place in the world. I went completely off the rails in college and burnt out. I was out to prove something, but all I met was resitance and hate. That pushed me into a deep despression, the Great Depression. I didn't talk to anybody for 6 months, locked inside my room eating crap and watching movies. Then I started reading, and gradually found my calling. My purpose in this world is to filter all the bs in society, shake it up like a halway decent Martini and toss the intoxicating liqiuds back at the world.
Since realizing this, everything I do comes back to this. It's been 2 and a half years since I got out the personal hell. Hitting on chicks is a creative and scientific endevour, not just pleasure. They go hand in hand for me. I currently have over 50 000 dollars to my name after working harder than a bloodhorse. I only seek 3 things out of life, making a living as an artist, be mentally and physically strong like the Hulk and get laid. That's it.
When I wake up in the morning, I can't wait to hit the gym. I work out every day and go as hard as possible every ***** time. I work full time in a physically demanding job, I mean sometimes I have to load long-ass steel pipes weighing 60kgs into a container all by myself, and that's a couple of hours after doing heavy deads and squats. Don't care, I don't stop for anything or anybody. Even at 60 years old, I'm gonna be pimp. The young guns in the future better watch out, I will snatch your 20 year old hot girlfriend while you watch in utter disbelief. Every guy could get laid, there are no excuses. You simply stick your dick into her and what happens next is outside of your control anyway. Sometimes it won't be good for you, her or her curious cousin. That's just the way it is, it's a quest to figure out what works for you.
So what I'm saying is that it was necessary for me to go through that stage, rock bottom. I had to completely self destruct before rising from the ashes reborn, transformed and DRIVEN. Just know that I relate to everything your saying here.
I used to be at the phase you are referring to, the life after you "found your mission", but I realized that life can actually take in another form which you can enjoy everyday moments and seek for meanings under.
Instead of crazily taking actions for my mission, I am at a point right now to slowly raze and develop everything I do until I reach some sort of realization, and only do things that interest me. So my mission is kind of scattered around, but I still keep hitting the gym as the minimum requirement. It keeps me healthy, regardless I want the physical beauty or not. And trust me the mission thing is completely made up by your brain... There isn't a mission you have to follow, and mission is only a concept that can be changed around.
There are a lot of lifestyle gurus out there these days, not saying that you are one, who teach people the optimum way of living life. Finding mission is one. Enjoying life is another one. So I guess in the end it really comes down to which lifestyle you find the most happiness, but the per-requisite is you have your ends met and are at least healthy. Other than that I don't really see a fixed way of living life. Achieving things or not, great, but that will depend on which stages of life you are at.
