I'm kinda in the same boat. But I'm starting to think whether one direction possibly worth taking is to tackle something you feel strongly about. Eg. I feel strongly about injustices. It absolutely makes my blood boil when people are treated unfairly. That, to me, suggest that perhaps I should consider studying law and defend those in weaker position where they are unable to bargain for more equity. But there may be other related jobs/career that doesn't necessarily involve studying law. Afterall, these days it takes a lot of $$ to get a degree.
Perhaps you have been touched by something, an experience that has greatly affected you? I, for example, also feel strongly about neglected and abused children and have wracking my brain to think how I can do my bit, even it is to relieve one child being abused or neglected that in itself would be rewarding enough.
The road you don't want to take is the road towards giving up. I believe when a person takes that road is when they start losing hope and self-esteem.
Perhaps you can start thinking what you feel strongly about. What makes your blood boil and perhaps you can do something about it.
I hope you find the right road to take and I wish you the best of luck.

Sense of purpose is about measuring what you have done in life and where you want to be eventually (whether its the smartest; the happiest; the most powerful, etc). Its about finding peace, and harmony in your everyday life and environment. Its about taking those steps to make it real and clearing your present attitude about the negative and inviting the positive. Its about demonstrating passion that comes from the heart; not because someone else is doing it.

Figure out what interests you and just go for something. try many things. The more you dwell on something the longer and harder it will become to face it. This question is one people cant really "answer" for you. Life is what you can make of it. Your pupose in life is to live life. anything else is just side stuff.

I think a feeling or sense of purpose would be difficult to create if the reality is that we have no purpose.
