“I am at a stage in my life where I feel confused about several things, and I genuinely want guidance and clarity about my future. I have been in a long-term relationship for almost eight years, but lately I have been questioning my feelings, my emotional connection and whether this relationship is truly right for me in the long run. I want to know whether this relationship will lead to a happy and stable marriage, whether my partner and I are genuinely compatible, and whether I am holding on because of love or simply because of our shared history. I am also worried about my career and financial future. I have completed my graduation and am pursuing my postgraduate studies, while preparing for competitive banking examinations. I want to become financially independent, secure a stable job and support my family, but sometimes I feel uncertain about which direction will bring me success. I also want to know whether I will be able to build a comfortable life for myself, achieve my personal goals and become independent. There are times when I feel emotionally overwhelmed, overthink situations and struggle to understand what I truly want from life. I want to know what the coming years hold for my career, finances, love life, marriage, family life and personal growth. Is there a major positive change coming in my life? Am I currently on the right path, or do I need to make important changes in my decisions and priorities? What should I focus on, what should I be careful about, and what lessons should I understand at this stage of my life? I am looking for honest and practical guidance about my future, not just reassuring predictions.”

Guidance in direction is not what you need, you have already thought through every possible route, outcome both positive and negative. The boring conclusion is that through questioning everything, you have yet to recieve any valuable answers.
What your future holds, with whom you get to experience it with, and which direction it is will remain unknown, and it is impossible to think yourself to it.
What truly matters is who do you want to be in the process, and how do you wish to be that person? Do you know your values, your morals, and do your actions represent them?
Sometimes we worry so much about the top of the ladder, we forget to build the steps, and we forget what person we want to be while climbing them.
When you know deep down who you are, how you wish to portray it, and live everyday true to these values and morals you will find that succes is not knowing and achieving a goal, far out in the future. It is being proud and happy of the person you are today.
A good bonus to that, is the path you want to walk will be clearer to you, when you know what person you are trying to become. Not by job title, or salary, that changes, but by your heart.
