We are products of our past, but we do not have to be prisoners of our past. Without God life has no purpose and without purpose life has no meaning, without meaning life has no significance or hope. Without a clear purpose, you keep changing directions jobs, relationships, churches and almost everything hoping each change will settle the confusion or fill the emptiness in your heart.
You begin to think maybe this time it will be different but it does not solve your problem - a lack of purpose. God has a purpose for each one of us, how you define life determines your destiny, your perspective will influence how you invest your time, spend your money and value your relationship.
To fulfill the purpose God made for you, you have to challenge conventional wisdom and replace it with the biblical metaphors of life. The bible says do not conform to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of mind, then you will be able to know the will of God.
Also writing down your purpose on paper will help you think specifically about the path of your life. The bible says know where you are headed and you will stay on solid ground. A life purpose statement not only spells out what you intend to do with you time, life and money but also implies what you should avoid.
