Is the 9-5 Grind Really the Better Path to Fulfillment?

In my mid-30s, I find myself struggling more than ever. Most of my old friends are now doctors, engineers, or professionals with steady jobs and happy relationships. Meanwhile, I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life—no real job, no clear direction, and it’s affecting everything from my confidence to my relationships. People say I should be grateful not to be part of the rat race, but honestly, the lack of structure and purpose just feels isolating. Sometimes I wonder if the 9-5 life would actually be better. Anyone else feel this way? Share your thoughts below. #spiritualstruggle #findingpurpose #midlifereflection #Spirituality
