My hope is to find my own path

Hello, I was searching for the possible jobs that a woman engineer can do and I saw this magnificent site. To be frank, I am an electrical engineer with master in renewable energy. But unfortunately, I am lacking of the amazing feeling of happiness. I cannot find my motivation and my strong advantages among others and I am not limited this for engineers only. I am working as an electrical engineer in a department that ensures the proper maintenance of the electromechanical equipment. I would love to be motivated for something and give my best. I could say that I am an electrical engineer with a losted soul. I am wondering if I have misted something in my route. My education: 1)MSc Production and Management of Energy, NTUA 2)MEng Electrical and Computer Engineer 3)Technological Educational Institution of Athens Electronic Engineer My loves: 1)dance (folk, modern dance) 2)music 3)yoga 4)nature 5)cooking 6)fashion 7)interior design 8)socializing-meet new people My goals: starting something on my own in collaboration with a team. My wishes: find the answer and my own path and hope the best to everyone, life is so short. Really thank you for reading this and for your precious time. Hope you the very best with your goals and carreer path and not only. Sincerely, Eleni

    Dear Eleni,
    I've read your question very carefully.
    You are such a clever and brilliant girl considering your education, goals and social life. Your loves, goals, and wishes make you who you are. Your education and your job shows how hardworking you are.
    I have noticed that you love nature and your masters degree is renewable energy.
    If you care about nature like me, maybe you can feel complete about your profession.
    We all want to save the world but less of us have the profession about it.
    Using your knowledge can make difference in this world :)
    Even I am excited while writng the answer to you ;) I hope you feel the same :)
    For your goals, make 1, 5, 10 year plan and list what you should do to reach them.
    In one of the seminars, the lecturer told us to do SWOT analysis for our selves. Maybe this will help you to see and plan your future.
    Also, do not neglect your loves and make time for them. These will make you to live the moment and strengthen you.
    Hope you to find your motivation.
    Kind regards.
