I think people fail to deeply reflect on what they want from life. I'll share my list, because maybe it will help someone else to figure out theirs:

• Maintain my body

• Maintain a sense of mental tranquility

• Work on projects and learn things I find meaningful and interesting

• Visit my friends and family in my hometown regularly

• Have a good home life with my wife and someday children

• Have a job that keeps me interested but isn't so exhausting it detracts from the above

If you don't have a list like this, and you don't know what resonates with you, then your actions will be unguided and you'll not find any sense of peace or progress. Pay attention to what helps you be happy, reflect on it and use it to guide your choices and use of time in this life.
