Ask HN: How did you figure out what you wanted to do with your life?

Charlie Munger famously said: "Invert, always invert." If you don’t know what you want to do, start by figuring out how to gain the power to avoid the things you don't want to endure. Don't want the 9-to-5 grind? Focus on saving for early retirement or mastering a skill that allows for freelancing. Can’t stand annoying neighbors? Work toward moving to a better community. If you list your problems one by one, you’ll realize life is a bit like a video game—there’s always a new boss to face. The joy isn’t necessarily in reaching a final destination; it's in the challenge of taking down the bosses along the way.

You need to figure out where you want to end up and then simply seek ways/paths to get there.
