Two weeks ago a friend of mine had a bike accident and he's yet in coma, no guarantee from doctors that he will return back to life again. He's a great guy, very skilled programmer. We worked together for almost two years in the same office. Today while I could not sleep, just thinking random things, I realized I'm in an entrepreneurial coma.

For many months I have been thinking and trying to realize what it is that I wanna do in my life specifically & that I could pursue no matter what but I still feel confused. I just know that I wanna build a business around something meaningful that can last but the pressure of time & doubt kills my initiatives. I am an average programmer & web developer who is currently stuck in the middle of no where. I have all the time available for me 24, but can't figure out what kind of business to pursue and I think this is due to two major reasons:
-the urgency for an income (short term).
-the doubt or insecurity about the long term business.

It's such a f#$%ing bad place to be. I literally start one project for a week or so, then my "love" for it starts to drain and I suddenly get another "idea" and so on. I'm just trying to figure out what will really "ignite" my true unstoppable action because once I know for sure what I want to build & can see a meaning behind it, I just build it. Have done so since I was a kid. Have you guys been in such doubtful, lack of clarity place and how do you figure it out what you truly wanna do to somehow meet both, the short and long term goals?

How do you go about clearing your head off doubts and expanding your options? How do you get out of the entrepreneurial coma?
