What sort of person would be able to help me?
You.
Goals.
A car is not useful without a direction. A life is more useful with goals.
Where do you want to be in 10 years? If you don't know, pick something. As you gain direction toward your goal, you can refine the goal. Or, since you have momentum, switch direction even.
Break down your 10-year goal. Smaller and smaller goals, 5 year, 2 year, this year, next month.
How can you help yourself? Find someone who can coach you with setting goals. A little easier than finding someone who can help you with your "life".
Great comment. Related: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. When you have a huge project (figuring your life out) it won't do any good only looking at the big picture. You must break it down into small, manageable bits.
