Hey,
I am in a very lucky situation: I can decide for myself what I want to do. By that I mean that my parents don't tell me what to do and I've been given many other opportunities (for example, living in Germany, being able to go to school, etc.). Therefore in advance: I am very grateful for my situation and know that my problem is complaining on a high level.

I am 18 and now finished school. I have only one problem:
There are too many paths and options. I have many interests, but no area I want to focus on right now.

So I'm currently building an e-commerce business, but I don't know if that's the right path. For example, in my head are the following questions: Shouldn't I possibly study and enjoy student life for a year? Shouldn't I rather travel? Shouldn't I start a business in a different field? Shouldn't I concentrate on sports after all?

So my problem is that I can't decide on anything and I'm afraid that in 5 years I'll realize that I've missed out on a lot. (For example, if I don't focus on sports or don't study).

Does anyone know this feeling or can just give me some advice in general? :)

Many greetings
Luke
