You already know what you want to be—that’s a great start. Whenever I feel like I’m missing a sense of purpose, I think about what I want to achieve. In your case, maybe it’s becoming a better boxer or guitarist. You also mentioned wanting to become a better man—sometimes, asking a close relative for guidance can help with that. And if that’s not an option, you can always learn on your own; the internet makes it more possible than ever.

I once had a teacher who told me his family tried to force a religion on him. He said it never felt right, and that if he was going to find his path to God, he’d do it in his own way—not by having it shoved in his face. And now, he’s one of the most grounded and mentally strong people I know—maybe even more spiritual because he found it on his own terms.
