Here is one of the ways to overcome isolation and discover your purpose in life.

Read

Reading fosters cross-temporal and cross-spatial connections with individuals we'll never meet, an activity that, according to study, is associated with a sense of meaning and purpose. Note that while "purpose" is a component of meaning, meaning is a much broader term that typically also includes value, efficacy, and self-worth.
Leslie Francis, for instance, examined a group of roughly 26,000 teens from England and Wales in a 2010 paper and discovered that those who read the Bible more frequently tended to have a stronger sense of purpose. Secular reading also appears to have an impact. In a review of empirical studies, Raymond A. Mar and colleagues discovered a connection between young people's reading of poetry and fiction and their sense of purpose.

Reading fiction may enable young people to consider the entire lives of characters, providing them with detailed knowledge of a lifetime without having to have lived most of their own. Teenagers are more inclined to recognize purpose in their own lives if they can see it in the lives of others. In this sense, having a purpose is a creative endeavor.
For this essay, several of the people I spoke with referenced important books or concepts they discovered through literature.

Social justice activist Art McGee was compelled to adopt a particular vision of African-American identity and emancipation by the writings of historian W.E.B. Du Bois. The "social responsibility philosophy of journalism," which Michael Stoll studied about at Stanford University, served as motivation for the journalist. Basically, he argues, "reporters and editors have the potential and the duty to better their community by serving as impartial arbiters of issues that need to be resolved." Michael was inspired by this notion and went on to found The San Francisco Public Press, a nonprofit journalism organization that has won numerous awards.
Therefore, if you're experiencing a crisis of purpose in your life, visit a bookshop, library, or academic institution. Find books that are important to you; they may aid in your understanding of what is important in your own life.
