I didnt know if this belonged in the self help section or not, but it felt like a philosophical question to me. First, some back ground.
I am currently in my third year of college and when Im not busy doing school work (electrical engineering major) or practicing martial arts I seem to find myself deep in thought. After the past few months there has been a growing feeling inside of me of not feeling fulfilled in what I do. I set goals for myself and most people think its great that I succeed in them, such as staying on the dean's list every semester of school or getting better at a particular skill set in mixed martial arts..but, whenever I achieve these goals sure I may feel a little happy, but for some reason I dont feel like I have accomplished anything shortly after. I feel like Im just kind of floating from one goal to the next, not really doing anything.
I first noticed this when my parents were so proud of me graduating high school and getting my college acceptance letter...but I didnt feel very excited or like I really did anything spectacular, it was just another phase of life to me.
So, that brings me to the question of fate. A lot of times this feeling translates in to the feeling of waiting for something to come, although I never sit stagnant or always try to keep moving, on the inside it still feels like Im waiting for something. I have always been a big believer in free will and making your life what you want it to be, but it seems like what I think I want it to be doesnt make me feel accomplished.
Have you had the same kind of feelings as me? If so, what did you do about it? Or, in a broader sense is there a way to simply make one feel like they have found their calling instead of believe fate has something in store?
