Yeah, that's not really what I was talking about. My problem is with being unable to see that there's anything I should just go out and do, not with actually going out and doing it. I don't have any trouble following a path to my goal once that path has been identified; it's identifying possible path(s) to my goal(s) in the first place that I seem to have a deficiency in. What was unclear about my question that prompted you to answer a different question than the one I asked?
"Just go out and DO it!" is then the wrong advice.
However "Just go out and DO!" remains good advice.
Next time you see a poster for a meetup; just go to it. Even if it doesn't sound like it'll help, just go to it.
Next time you see a request for volunteers, which you can afford the time to fulfil, just volunteer. Even if it's not something you care much about.
While you're out doing those things you'll come across people, and random events, etc. that may give you new paths to your goals.
Don't worry about achieving your goals, just do thing...
