Maybe those who go through this quarter life crisis will avoid the problem in their 40s. I never took the time to figure out who I was or what I wanted to do--I just took one step and that led me to the next. Now I am in that more cliche stage of my mid-40s and questioning everything. I think it is great that these younger people are exploring their identity and what they want to do. Their passions will evolve over time so it great they are learning to listen to their inner voice. That exploration should be life-long and perhaps the earlier someone learns how to do it, the more fulfilling it will be each time.
