Something I wish someone told me at 25: You don't need to figure out your entire life. You need to figure out your next 90 days. Pick three things. Go all in on those three things. Reassess in 90 days. Repeat. That's how people who seem to "have it figured out" actually operate.
Figure out the next 90 days.

Well, I did figure out my entire life. Twenty years ago, in October 2006. It took me 4 years (2002-06) to do so. And it worked very well for me.
90 days by 90 days it wouldn't work. There was a radical decision to be made, and I made it.
