How Does One Accept and Live with the Fact that They'll Go Nowhere in Life? (lemm.ee)

36, frustrated, angry, bored, uninspired and stuck in a safe, boring, but tolerable dead end job. A job which I'll be stuck doing for the next 30 years till retirement cause this is as far as I can go in my life. Failed and burned out from multiple business ventures, and have completely given up hope in building a successful business empire or doing anything of note period. I've resigned myself to my fate. My question is how to accept & cope with the misery that is my mediocre and boring life? Drugs? Alcohol? Criminal activity?

Sounds like the only measure of success and satisfaction in your life is your job. I would be lying if I said I didn't sometimes feel the same way. Hard not to in a world that tells you that you are only worth the money you make.

What has helped me is taking a step back to think about what I actually care about and finding volunteer opportunities that align with those interests. For me this was youth programs and climate change.

Ambition can be a powerful force, but it is worth thinking about whether the drive you feel is your own or has been planted in your head by external influences.
