⚓︎in addition to all the great advice i have seen here, i would say it's important to set goals for yourself. however, there's something that's very important to remember with goals: when you set a goal, it's important to find value in striving for the goal, as opposed to reaching it. for example, if your goal is to master an instrument, have that be your goal, but try to find your happiness in the work you do every day to reach that goal, not the goal itself. the goal gives you direction, but your sense of purpose comes from the day to day stuff you do to work towards that goal.
