People with depression tend to pursue generalized goals

I read this article and it brought back memories of my counselling sessions a couple of years ago. I am dealing with depression and, yes, I have the exact same struggle mentioned in this article. My counsellor kept telling me to be more specific in my goals. If I do not have the ability to see such a detailed goal or inspiration in my life, how am I to set the steps toward reaching it?!!!

This frustrates me so much about the "professionals" in this field. They keep telling me what I have to do without giving me the tools to do it with. If I cannot see a goal that I believe I am capable of reaching or do not know how to reach it, how do they expect me to be able to lay down the exact steps to get there? It is like telling a hungry village that they need to grow food for their people. and giving them equipment without any knowledge of how to use them.

What do I want to do in five years? I have no clue. So, how can I plan or set a goal if I have no clue what I wish to do?I have no idea what my abilities are, what resources I have to use, or how to use whatever I do have to make something. How am I to set goals? Is there anybody who can teach us to find a dream or passion first before we set goals to reach it?
