How To Distinguish If It`s My Life Purpose Or Not?

[SimpleGuy]

Two months ago I started playing guitar. Just learning. Before I got this guitar I really had a passion to play on it. After 1-2 weeks I can play some cool songs, but it feels to me now like "Meh, yeah, it sounds good, but who cares?". I feel like yeah, it`s good music, but, after all, who really cares if I can play beautiful music?

So that`s it. Is it like I`ve gone through a purpose layer (from book "The Way of The Superior Man") and now I need to move on. Or I`m just lazy fucker or whatever?

 

Thanks for attention.

I play guitar since I was young I felt the same way but you just keep picking it up over time and you will be able to play and get good. If you dont want to play it anymore dont and leave it alone you wont forget anything you learned. Its good for you not anyone else its not someone elses life purpose. Your life purpose dosent have to make you famous just kill some time with what you want to do.

Then you need to try a couple of different things if it does not resonate.

Thank you, but read the question, please

"How To Distinguish If It`s My Life Purpose Or Not?"

If you're too young might be very hard to "distinguish" it right out of the bat. It becomes clear as you try stuff, gradually. That's why I respond what I wrote.

"Meh, yeah, it sounds good, but who cares?". I feel like yeah, it`s good music, but, after all, who really cares if I can play beautiful music?"

I feel different when I play guitar, the oposite of that. So I can more firmly trust my gut there. But I know I love other things which I tried in the past, but not a strongly as the first one. I am building Arduino skills too for example.

So my answer was pretty on point, think about it.

You're welcome. What other things you think you could try?

there is tons of them. Like doing some micro-politics thing, creating businesses, something with languages, making youtube channel on specific niche.

Btw I`ve already tried 3D, programming, graphic design and photography. ENTJ speaks inside of me that I`m not that.

Well, you have a fair amount of experience in different things to narrow you down more. Maybe instead of trying other things you would benefit more from revisiting in your mind the things you've tried and make a throughout contemplation of what aspects did resonated with you and what didn't, what do they have in common, like what draws your attention to that kind of things.

You're gonna succeed more if it is based on your personal experience. Then, the things you listed at the beginning, could you pull something out of 3D modeling or graphic design and use it for micropolitics? Or photography + youtube?

See, these kind of questions should help you more. Be more clear.

Thank you a lot! This really helps. Will take action on it
