My initial approach was to come home from work, wrap myself in my bedding, and go round and round in circles in my head analysing what else could I do. Try to see the process of figuring it out as your passion for the time being. During this time of exploration,your job and mission in life are to explore and discover. Rather than seeing this time as purgatory, envision it as a grand adventure instead. 15. Remain open to possibilities. As mentioned above, the Tell Us Once service can be used to report a death to several governmentdepartments in one go. The service is offered by most local councils. When you register a death, the registrar will explain the Tell Us Once service and either help you use it or give you a unique reference number so you can use the service yourself. You can use the service over the phone by calling 0800 085 7308 or you can use the service online on GOV.UK. I Know What You Did Last Summer is a 1997 American slasher film directed by Jim Gillespie, written by Kevin Williamson, and starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Freddie Prinze Jr. It is loosely based on the 1973 novel of the same name by Lois Duncan [5] and is the first installment in the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise. The film centers on four young friends who are stalked by a hook-wielding killer one year after covering up a car accident in which they supposedly killed a man. The film also draws inspiration from the urban legend known as " The Hook" and the 1980s slasher films Prom Night (1980) and The House on Sorority Row (1982). Oh, and if you're curious to know, I had the worst interview of my life for that role. I so wanted the job that my brain froze, I stumbled my way through the questions, and I left thinking I'd blown it. Catastrophic. Or it might had been, had that been my first interaction with the team. But it wasn't and, because of the strengths of the relationships I'd built, I still got the job.

If there is a job or hobby you are interested in — from grooming dogs to being a zookeeper — volunteer or job shadow and see if it’s an occupation you really want to do. It’s a natural biological response to want to avoid threats. We’re designed to keep ourselves as safe as possible and run from anything that might potentially harm us. It really is true that every step you’ve taken up until now has made you who you are. Each has been valuable in its own way.One misconception about discovering what you want to do with your life is that you’ll have a sudden moment of clarity that will spell it out for you. People enjoy talking about the things they love, and not only will you learn their methods, but also you’ll be inspired by their enthusiasm and passion. 25. Expand your range of possibilities. When you decide what is most important to you in life, you can then decide what to do. 17) Stop desperately trying to find your purpose

All the dreaming in the world isn’t going to help you if you don’t go and get your hands dirty. Sometimes, we think we want to do something and then once we try it, we realize it might not be the kind of work we like after all. If you aren’t sure what you feel passionate about, you likely know what motivates you. Do you want happiness? Creativity? Productivity? Freedom? All of the above? I didn't get the job there through a formal application. I got it because I built relationships with people in the organisation. I did some pro-bono work, which led to consultancy work, which led to an interview for a full-time job. Whatsmore, the irony is this societal pressure about how to discover your purpose can be exactly what keeps you from finding meaning.

42. You should know how to ask for help.

A problem shared is a problem halved and talking about what’s going on in our head has great value. It can help us to release emotions and thoughts that we’ve kept bottled up. Following the path of people you respect and admire can help you learn from them and emulate their best qualities. I know plenty of people who swear by meditation as a way to receive the answers they are searching for. There is scientific evidence that suggests they are right. The problem is you don’t have a clue what you want to do instead. So you do nothing. But by doing nothing, you’re not getting any closer to finding out what it is you truly want.

7) Do some self reflection through journaling

Some said it was repetitive, well hearing the same thing over and over reinforces its meaning and you will remember more as a result. Noticing where you procrastinate can help you prioritize and do the most important things first. 16) Focus on your values It has even been linked to having a stronger immune system, more self-confidence, and a higher I.Q. 8) Give yourself some time

My brain starts questioning it all: What if I didn’t really know what to do then either, and just decided on something that wasn’t really the right thing to do after all? What if it turns out to be “wrong”? What if I acted on impulse and didn’t think it all through properly?

[11] According to Williamson, he wrote the scene as a way of indicating what was to come: "Basically what I was doing was I was setting the framework to say, 'All right, audience: That's that legend. Now here's a new one.'" [11] Unlike Williamson's screenplay for the film's contemporary, Scream, which incorporated satire of the slasher film, I Know What You Did Last Summer was written more as a straightforward slasher film. [11] Gillespie commented in 2008: "The joy of this film for me as a filmmaker was in taking [the] elements that we've seen before, and saying to the audience: 'Here's something you've seen before'—knowing that they're saying 'We've seen this before'—and still getting them to jump." [11] Gillespie also claimed that he felt Williamson's screenplay did not resemble a "slasher horror movie" and that he saw it rather as simply "a really good story" with a morality tale embedded within it.
