What To Do When You Feel Lost In Life

Have you found yourself thinking, “Life should be more than this?”

If so, maybe you're feeling lost about the difference between your current life and what you hoped your life would be.

Author and creativity coach Eric Maisel coined the term “existential intelligence” to describe the weight carried by those with a high sensitivity to the inherent meaning in everything they do.

How To Find Your Passion With These 40 Life Events

by Barrie Davenport

A few years back, I didn't know what the hell I was doing with my life.

One phase was coming to a close (raising kids, a career in PR), and I was stuck in that netherworld of uncertainty about my next steps.

Frankly, I didn't have any idea how to go about finding my passion.
