Hello, My story is that I have been working for a large international company for several years. In the beginning I didn't have much motivation, I just wanted to make money and do things from the outside. Over time, I became more and more inspired to develop and climb in the hierarchy, this had raised my motivation to the ceiling, I began to take a lot of initiative, I gave 110% of myself, I always tried to help my colleagues and that it was a pleasure, as was the praise after my actions and work. After many unsuccessful attempts, it still happened and now I am in the desired position. What is the problem? I just suddenly lost my motivation, a lot of people we could talk to on all sorts of topics left, at the moment I don't know what to do, I don't know how to continue, I have no goal. I have a feeling, that my life is pointless and that it has lost its meaning, my smile is fake, my feelings too. I have achieved so much in the last year, as for years I do not think I can, I do not know how to continue. We humans are very strange beings, we have very strange methods to make us feel whole. If you have advice or personal similar stories with good conclusions share, I will be happy to read. - M at 23 years old.

Set a bigger goal than this, start a business, make a product, a service, start a family, travel the world, read books. There are so many things you can do;) Think about this, people who are millionaires / billionaires even after they have everything still work and enjoy the things they do. Where do they find meaning? The point is in action, in doing new things and improving yourself.
I support number 1, it's just time for the next goal. For example, I do not want my own business and I am not inclined to think about such an endeavor, but I have found the ideal employer. I toured five of his departments, climbing to the top possible and supporting them as best I could. On my initiative and under my management we created a new department and I grow it as my business, but with some differences. A few months after my first peak, I was depressed that I had nothing more to do. After a three-month absence from work and a lot of thoughts and passions, my tour of the departments began, which was terribly refreshing, gave me a wide range of knowledge and the idea for the new department. From personal experience I can say that sometimes going down a lower step is not a step backwards, but a step forward. Think about what you can develop and want, experiment with your life.
I know it. I drove in life, in a straight line. School -> University -> Internship -> Career -> Lots of money and daisies by the pool. Unfortunately, all the adults who planted in my head the ideal of the rich young professional, failed to mention that this does not lead to happiness. My advice is to go to other horizons and look for a connection with different people.
Happiness is not an end station - it is just a way to travel by the right train.
Even at the age of 23 you have achieved everything you want in this company ... The problem is that you just wanted the position, but not the job.
7 - It sounds strange, but unfortunately, some people have achieved everything we had to achieve in a list that was somehow prepared for us as children. We just had a lot of words to check. It was an easy and safe way to keep track of what we considered progress. And our parents were proud, because for them, it was the western way that was supposed to bring us success. And this time it is seemingly easy to follow in the beginning. However, the whole education system was a straight line. From I grade to XII grade, as well as studying abroad, along with a little internship. And at 23-4, you are already starting your regular work, which almost had to be the finish line, and then, without having to, make a special effort for nothing. But the feeling of progress, every time you climb a new step, is gone. You only have a few promotions and a director's position left ... You have gone through this path of ascent and it is clear to you that you will have to make many times more efforts, but the return will be minimal. And the question comes - Why bother at all? All my life with a bump. And now, you see older colleagues who barely do anything but take more from you, just because they've been there longer. And they have followed the same paths. And here's how, your motivation runs out.
