There is cultural pressure to turn work into passion. If you don't have a 'dream job', it can feel like a personal failure. But wanting stability isn't a lack of vision — it's vision grounded in reality. For many people, stability means leaving survival mode: paying bills, having predictability, supporting family, taking care of health. The question doesn't have to be 'What is my professional purpose?'. It can be 'What level of security do I want to build, and why?'. From there, choices become lighter: a steadier job, savings, transferable skills, gradual transitions. A career's value isn't measured by glamour, but by what it allows you to sustain.
