My conclusion is that people do know what they want to do with their life, but it can often be buried so deep that it takes some time, effort and lots of questions for it to come to the surface. I have found that my clients will spend longer deciding what to have for lunch than spending time thinking about themselves and what they really want out of life.

I have a list of questions I ask my clients when they don’t know what to do with their life. If you are in this situation then it is important that you take some quiet time to think through and write down the answers to all of these questions. The whole idea is that they make you think about, consider and investigate options that you may not have thought about before.

Now, go somewhere quiet with a pen and paper, with no distractions and start thinking about you, your life and what you really really want.
