Gurudev, I am 30 years old and honestly I still don’t know what I want from my life. How do I figure out what I truly want from my life?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

You know, you should shift this 'What I want from my life' to 'What people around want', or 'What the nation wants'. If you make this change from 'What I want' to 'What is needed of me', you will find fulfillment.
When you think, 'What can I do to better the nation, and better the society', you will not find yourself empty, and The Art of Living has many projects. Just call one of our volunteers and they will take you along with them. You will see the amount of joy and celebration there is when you are actively involved in some social project. You can’t buy that type of happiness anywhere.
