Mel you have truly given me the tools to change my life so first and foremost thank you for all your wisdom and hardwork. As I'm entering my journey of aggressive change doing the things I dont want to do but know that I should be doing I'm reminded of something that's affected me my whole life. My whole life my purpose has truly alluded me. I've been in the military for 10 years now and it's a great job and I like the financial security of a pension that I am working towards, but how can someone discover their true natural passions and more importantly their purpose in life ? I've honestly squandered so much of my free time with video games and i want to hone my focus in trying to understand my place in this world and im just wondering what you think I should do or anyone else in a similar situation. Thank you again for all you have done for me and millions others.

First - thank you for your service and congratulations on creating financial security for yourself.
Now, for your question:
Stop playing fucking video games. You're meant to do more with your life. And if you love them so much - figure out how to create a business around it.
And while you're at it - get outside, spend more time taking walks, hiking, and less time online. There is no way in hell you are going to figure out what your intuition is trying to say to you if there is so much noise around you. I can tell that you have a bigger calling. As I read this paragraph it's very clear that it's haunting you. So stop squandering your time. It's killing your dreams. Get fucking serious about figuring it out.
I did an episode on this - and I hope that it will provide a spark and ignite some clarity for you

Hi Mel,
Why are video games so bad in your eyes? Are other hobbies like soccer or board games more valid and why?
