Devote yourself to God’s causes

Consider the wonderful words in Ephesians 2:10:

“For we are His creation—created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them.”

That should be a tremendous encouragement and a great aid in helping you understand who you are. Not that you should go off and become an isolated individual, indifferent to others, like one of the Three Little Pigs, going out into the world to seek your fortune. Rather, you are called to take your place alongside others in a community under God and devote your life to the causes of God among all of humanity and within your specific generation.
