Try the podcasts of e.g. Chris Williamson, for someone talking about how he figures life out for himself. You have to boil it down to picking a specific challenges and objectives, whether that's money, career, education, fitness, friendships, hobbies etc. Set some mini-goal, really small one, do it, then consider what you learned. But, ya gotta pick something to start with, today. Don't just sit around stressing and feeling inadequate. (Or if you do, look into mental health. But don't try to address that all on your own).
Also excellent: 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear [0] ("four laws of habit change: make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, and make it satisfying"). Convert vague intents ("I will find my dream job") into a set of actions ("I will try out/interview people who do N jobs in the next week, then evaluate what I think the pros and cons of each are").
But, start right now with some action, no matter how tiny and inconsequential. Do not spin your wheels.
Chris Williamson also emphasizes how crucial exercise and nutrition are as foundation to anything else.
