The most disheartening yet beautiful thing about life is that it almost never offers a perfect answer to any consequential question.
There is no template and no fool-proof formula. Anyone who offers you a definitive answer is indulging in plain quackery.
We must work on getting our own unique answers to our most pertinent questions:
1. Do the hard work to figure out what others have already figured out. ~80% of the answer
2. Trust your intuition for the remaining 20% and decide on a course of action
3. Own the decision, get started on the journey, course-correct based on new discoveries and feedback, and let the universe guide you.
#1 is hygiene factor.
#2 helps avoid procrastination.
#3 gets you closer to your answer.
Harsh but beautiful truth: you never 'find' the perfect answer but you can always shape it.
