> how can we really know where we want to spend our rest of life? Yes, how can we indeed? I mean, can we even know? It sounds almost like knowing the future. Because in a sense it is. Your life will change. It will change in ways you do not know yet. You will change it. Trying to figure out the rest of your life now sounds tempting, but it's mostly useless. Perhaps not completely, but mostly. Sometimes, you can figure out some stuff in advance, but I don't believe you can do so generally. You don't know the future. But, on the other hand, do you need to? Because you can be impactful in various ways and many of them -most?- don't require figuring everything out now. Just try things and see how they go for you. What I can tell you is that if you're really burnt out, then you should probably do something about that part. Should that mean "leaving everything"? Maybe. But more probably it can mean leaving some things and keeping some others. Maybe just changing employer, or maybe a different job in the same industry, or perhaps, yes, changing to a different industry. Or maybe make changes in the parts of your life outside work. I can't tell you what to do, obviously. But do consider all the options, not just the extremes of going on till you burn completely or leaving absolutely everything. I've seen that in many cases only seeing the extremes tends to block the person from making any change at all. In any case, again, I can't tell you what to do. I'm just a stranger on the internet. |
