"Making the world a better place, through minimal message oriented transport layers." -Hooli
What is important to you, what do you care about? Who depends on you for what? What skills, abilities, connections, positions, etc. do you have that can be useful in the world?
I think too often people want some grand overall narrative about making a big impact on the world, which, if you adopt it without really truly believing and caring about it, will be actually demotivating. For the most part, anyone can find purpose by doing a better job at what they are already doing in life. Be a better whatever you are. Go deeply into it, and put more energy into it.
I also highly recommend these books:
* Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
* The Enchiridion by Epictetus
* Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
