For me it is not 'a plan for the rest of my life', I really don't feel I need it, I'm currently content with what i have, what i _can_ do or buy, my job, my family situation, community service, etc.

Still, I seem/appear to have an untamable drive to do things that seem to spur from the creative side of my brain. It seems to be an incessant stream of thoughts, that I want to explore by mostly creating, fixing or optimizing.

I see that in my (in-law) family, most people are a lot less like that. As an example, if something is broken, the first reaction is a tendency for replacing it or having someone else fix it. If they want something, they buy; it doesn't come in their mind to create or derive it. If they don't have the money, they complain.

For some reason I am less like that, and I am really amazed by how some people try the easy way out by default, while fixing or creating seems to be so much more fulfilling.

I notice I am drifting, the Tldr is, a big 'plan for life' is not needed if you have some creativity and are open to looking around and finding opportunities for small fulfilling goals.
